(Jordan is pictured above right with his new car.)
Jordan, whose ambition is to be a TV presenter has enjoyed all the attention. 'I wanted Alison to sell my story so I could become famous,' he says.

I GAVE MY HUSBAND MY KIDNEY - NOW HE'S DIVORCING ME ...
Tracy Richardson wanted to tell her delicate story. But her biggest concern was that it would be told accurately and sensitively. Tracy had a very strong story to tell and I told her I could place it in numerous magazines and newspapers. However, we both decided the best place for Tracy and her story would be in the Daily Mail's Femail section. I personally visited Tracy at home to do the interview and we emailed or spoke on the phone every day so I could keep her updated on her feature's progress.
Her carefully written in-depth piece was printed over more than two pages. Says Tracy: 'Initially I felt very nervous about what I was doing. But Alison is very supportive and I soon found I could ask her anything. I couldn't believe it when I finally saw the feature - I was absolutely delighted. Alison and the Daily Mail did a fantastic job.'
Tracy's story has since appeared in Best and More magazines.
