I've finished (with help from chrise's footy clue and the answer bank's sporting solution) - but how d'you parse 16D Live-in worker is in to food and booze, might you say? (2,4)?

I have au pair but can't see why at all, apart from the definition.

Nice one from Paul today: lots of anagrams and a bit of fun, and only 10% on the old smutometer.

I thought "pear" for food, but not so sure about "eau" for booze!

farr, you're welcome!

chrise, I think you're probably right - I could see pair/pear, but not au/eau. I agree it's not exactly booze. Thanks!

Might you say (sounds like)

A pair of 'Os' in the words 'food' and 'booze'

Brilliant, mamya! (and Paul)

Took me a while to see what you meant, but it was worth it!

Thanks for 'eau pear' suggestion. I had 'au pair' but couldn't hear what food and drink it sounded like. I'm convinced by 'eau' because of 'eau de vie' - fierce French alcohol!

And still being dense as to why Katie Price is golden. A model she is, but...could you spell it out for me, please?! Thank you !
