It was Westminster School in London so he wasnât a boarder. He also says he was mugged by local youth every morning so that would have been on his way to school, if itâs true.duck that sounds horrendous.
Six year olds sent away to boarding school
Oh that's true - no mention of boarding.
Ignore me!
Ignore me!
I just checked and the Westminster Under School from age 7-13 doesnât have boarding but the Westminster School from age 12 does do boarding. They are both in Victoria.
Sorry and saddened for his horrible childhood experiences, but I don't feel sorry for him as an adult with a public platform that chooses to disrespect victims that have suffered abuse by using such revenge language with anyone he gets into a Barney with. Use that voice to help others instead of making a mockery of it.
He went to The Hall prep school in Hampstead according to his Wikipedia entry. Itâs not a boarding school. He didnât board when he was 6. You can board at Westminster School from 13 though (as my ex-husband did), but I think most of the students are day boys.
This article has more about his teacher (who he was fond of) sexually abusing him: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....e/news/amp4226/giles-coren-favourite-teacher/

He has sent his son to the same school (Hall), which seems an odd thing to do.
Yep - I was amazed when they said Sam was changing schools and that was where they were sending him!
Why would anyone in the public eye want to broadcast where their children go to school or to show their faces on social media? It is completely irresponsible and insane. I guess the Corenâs donât care about privacy if Giles is writing about his sonâs foreskin/weight problem or Estherâs disappointment that her 7 year old isnât interested in make up.
I think writing about which prep school Sam goes to is all part of Gilesâs bragging about what a big success he is: his own education at Westminster and Oxford, his houses in Kentish Town and his barn conversion in the Cotswolds, his Landrover Defender, his Jaguar I-Pace (whoops that keeps getting nicked) etc. Is it really that much of an achievement that Alan Corenâs son has achieved these things, arguably due to the nepotistic connections his father blessed him with?

Sali and her coven were vile to Esther. I am not sticking up for Giles in any way but he quite rightly called out SH on what she did. Tweets all since deleted now.This is interesting. Does he just sit at home playing sock puppets all day?
I wonder if he is watching this thread.Giley! He is exactly the sort of narcissist that would have Google alerts set up for their name. Not even his multiple sock puppets can save from Tattle though!
Ash Sarkat is the journalist Julie Burchill had to pay âsubstantial damagesâ to for libelling. I wouldnât call her âa massive witchâ if I was Giles.
Julie Burchill agrees to pay Ash Sarkar 'substantial damages' in libel case

Is that the same article for SpaceNK that Sali Hughes criticised? It is pretty idiotic, the idea that you can either be a clever scientist or someone who wears make up. Even if it is satire it doesnât really land. Also it doesnât seem like Sali Hughes was trolling Esther by criticising the article as Giles suggested in his ranty video.
The thing is (or, as Sali Hughes might say: can I put this into perspective for you?) SH didn't just criticise the article she tweeted that she felt 'hugely sorry' for the Corens' children.
Given that SH had made the groundless claim that we (the trolls, weirdos and arseholes of Tattle) had criticised her parenting, I was pleased that GC spoke out.
It sounds a bit like Gilesâ tweets that didnât specifically name Dawn Foster but weâre obviously about her.
Yes that was it exactly. Plus Sali had faux amazement that Esther could be upset as she (Sali) hadn't actually '@' her. Which made it OK.
Yet that rule didn't apply to her criticism of here.
How tacky and very nouveau riche.
He can brag all he likes but he must be desperately unhappy and insecure to be so offended by someone suggesting he might've benefitted from nepotism that he would publicly revel in their death. Sad little man.
I asked my friend who is a very successful TV producer why Giles hasnât been on Bake Off or Masterchef and she said that he has a reputation for being a âcomplete c**tâ so that he is effectively blacklisted by some production companies. Jay Rayner is a critic on Masterchef, but itâs strange Giles hasnât been on it. Also she said that sheâd heard from someone who worked as a runner on Supersizers that although Giles says he is 5 ft 9, they reckoned heâd added a couple of inches onto his height which was obvious when he put the costumes on. He looks a similar height to Sue Perkins who is 5 ft 5 in photos and also not much taller than Monica Galleti, who is 5 ft 6. 
I do get what you are saying and would not wish what he went through on anyone, but, there are many others who have been through similar and worse who have not turned into grade A twats nor revelled in someone's death.
I think you can feel sorry for someone but also hold them accountable for their terrible behaviour and potentially assuaging their own pain by lashing out horribly at others and generally behaving like a cock.
@LyraBalaqua Piers Morgan is equally as loathsome imo. Look at most recent article he's written about Simone BilesGiles Coren makes Piers Morgan
seem like the Nationâs Sweetheart.
I know Piers is loathed by many for good reasons but I donât ever imagine him being as cruel and bitter as Coren.
The more I think about what Coren has tweeted the more revolting he becomes.
It's GC's 52nd birthday today, and he hasn't tweeted for 10 days, aside from the few non-critical tweets he's been @-ed in, the majority are still incredulous that he is still in employ, and that all attempts to complain have hit a brick wall. He really is protected, for some strange reason.
His wife has literally written articles on how Twitter can turn people into trolls - I'd argue that the accessibility of Twitter vs a scripted, prerecorded or edited output means that some 'celebs' can't help but show off their real personality, which in CG's case is a vile little man who thinks he is morally superior to everyone.
