GOOD Morning Britain viewers were left in stitches when Sir Benjamin Slade revealed his specific requirements for a wife.
The single aristocrat, 72, spoke about his search for a spouse on the show earlier today just days after a Sun girl wrote about going on a date with the "eligible bachelor".

Speaking to hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard, the millionaire descendent of King George IV - who owns 2,000 acre Maunsel House - said he wants a "lady of the house" who can "fly a helicopter".
Ben asked about the £50,000 a year he was offering plus bonuses.
The guest replied: "Look you always give them pocket money and obviously you pay them a bit more with inflation."
Kate suggested his search was a little like a "cattle market" as the businessman spoke about wanting an "heir and a spare" from a woman at least 5ft6 who won't go off with the handyman "like the last one did".
