GOOD to hear Big Brother's balloon-chested pin-up, Krystal Forscutt, is boosting troop morale in the Middle East.
The reality show's resident funny man,
Mike Goldman, has spent the past fortnight entertaining our Diggers in Afghanistan and Iraq.
However we hear he's been bombarded by soldiers asking about the surgically enhanced Forscutt and requesting her phone number.
Apart from hosting nightly concerts at army bases with rockers the Angels and Shout! star Alexis Fishman, Goldman has organised burping, hamburger-eating and non-alcoholic beer skolling competitions.
Calling Confidential from Kabul, Goldman said the visit had given him a new appreciation for what soldiers went through.
"The dirt, the dust, the sounds of machinegun fire," he said.
"But the Yanks really know how to go to war, and there is a doughnut shop, a McDonald's, Burger King and even a beauty salon at the base."
Goldman landed in Kabul on the same day as the Afghan President was returning.
"There were snipers on the roof of the airport -- I thought they were there for us," he said.
Goldman returns to Australia on Friday, in time for the launch of his show, Friday Night Download.
