As mentioned in a previous thread, a friend who works in the media always says David Mitchell is her absolute favourite celeb to work with - absolutely lovely man apparently!
I love him. Quite nerdy, but now quite handsome with the weight loss and the beard.

His wife Victoria Coren I love for her brain and the fact she won $1M in a poker tournament. She's pretty annoying on Only Connect though. Way too arch.

Apparently DM and VC spend a lot of time doing crosswords together. Again, nerdy but so cute. Their kid is called Barbara. She'll have an IQ of 200 and will end up as a Cambridge don specialising in linguistics.

I definitely definitely think so. She's beautiful 😍
I mentioned on a much earlier thread that he was filming outside my workplace in London in the late 90s and he was frequently interrupted for autographs and was lovely

Both really heavy smokers too which surprised me. I thought that was a habit that had almost died out these days

What about Pierce Brosnan and his wife? I hope that they really are in love as they seem to be.
A relative knows Pierce Brosnan and has nothing but nice things to say about him. She says he is a lovely guy. Which makes me happy!

I once saw Pierce Brosnan on the Kings Road and he had an amazing aurora about him! It was like he was just gliding on air, really surreal!

@LilPinkie Going back to Carol Vorderman she's also very foolish to post the video showing the photographers & quoting 'outside my house's as, if you live in Bristol, thanks to a famous landmark showing in it you know exactly where she lives!
Yes, someone called her out on that.

So here's my ☕... (don't think I've seen it mentioned previously but sorry if it has been) It was relayed to me by my very non-gossipy brother in law who works in TV, who was told by a reliable source to Holly Willoughby and Paddy McGuinness (think he must work on Celeb Juice) that the two of them were shagging and that Holly's husband Dan knew and was sometimes into watching them.

Doesn't surprise me I must say 👀

So a young lad I worked with (he had a different surname at work to what he used on XFactor) a couple years ago (he got into judges houses on X factor a few years ago) has become a singer/songwriter and has written one of BTS (KPop) songs on their latest album that got to number 1 is the UK and US - I only found out about this today! As far as I’m aware from when I worked with him, he’d mentioned being in various care and foster homes so I think he’s had a difficult time as a youngster. Some people at work are still pals with him and share his posts of him travelling and working in LA. Good on him I say!

It's a vile show X Factor. However, songwriting is the way to make money in the business. Good for him though. Too many say they write their own and don't write a word or note.

I was reading this the other day on songwriters we may not know, but know their songs: https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/5-musicians-writing-songs-for-other-performers

I knew he’d been on XFactor - just not he’d written for pretty much one of the biggest bands in the world! He was always singing and whistling and humming away so even in our job, music was clearly his passion. It’s a nice wee story and he was always a nice lad to me anyway however his constant singing did irk some colleagues. I’ll definitely have a wee gander at that article!

I always thought that singing was an odd choice to base a tv show on. Give almost anyone ten singing lessons and they’ll be able to sound good at
Tv karaoke. It’s the quality of the song that brings success. It’s no coincidence that after the labels stopped buying in the best songwriters and producers for Cheryl Cole and Nicole Schersinger (to name two) the hits stopped overnight. It’s also no coincidence that after dumping the guy who wrote all his hits, Robbie Williams became about as successful as Liverpool are at winning the prem!
Plus there’s also the fact that of all the X Factor contestants, Jedward seem to have had the longest career

I'm guessing Vernon maybe for reasons previously discussed. T&S always felt bitchy in What Not to Wear, shame they really are as bad. Glad Olivia is one of the genuinely lovely ones, as part of me feels like they'd have been truly duped otherwise.

Ha yeah I know, force of habit from who she was when she was as dull as dish water. Not saying she wasn’t nice, she was just bland and perfunctory.

Yep sadly so.

T&S were so full of themselves they were cut from a promo video. If celebs are cut you know there’s a problem!!

Been trying to think of little celeb snippets I have, I’ll start with the best one. This happened about 15 years ago. My Grandad used to drink in a Conservative Club in the Old Swan area of Liverpool *disclaimer - there was nothing conservative about the place* ANYWAY, my Dad and Uncle went with him for a drink one weekend, I was at home. Gets a phone call about 10pm from me Dad, “get down here now, get a taxi here now I’ll pay you’ve got to come”. Well there I was, braless, slapless, I weren’t moving. So I said no way, “Mike Myers is here you’ve got to come“. Laughed and told him he was a strange drunk. Gets woke up at 2am, a phone flung at me head and off he ran to vomit whilst there was the evidence, a load of pics with Mike Myers! Turns out, his Nan was 90 and her little party in the front room of the Con Club, they’d been in the back room and the manageress who had designs on me Grandad pushed them in and Mike Myers said they were more than welcome, didn’t have to pay for a drink or anything. Apparently he was very quiet and almost shy really, but very lovely and generous all the same. My favourite part of the story is my Dad and uncle trying to explain who he was to my Grandad, who didn’t have a clue and on the way out said “Good luck with your career son” 😂😂😂 also I did a little glass collecting job there and there’s a photo in the cellar of the staff at the time with him and the expensive champagne he gave them as a thank you.
I know that place 🤣🤣
