Secret Celebrity Gossip #154

I know I'm a couple of pages behind, but I feel the need to point out that I was another one who never questioned Elton spending silly money on flowers. I've spent all that time thinking how lucky he was to have vases of fresh flowers all over the place 🫣

That’s what happened to the character in Corrie. I think @sistersofpercy was asking about the actor who played him “not seen him in anything for years”

Yes I know, it was tongue in cheek!

Loads of people are blonde as kids, I was. I’d look like I’d been exhumed if I tried to recreate it now though!

I've always had dark hair, although it's not quite black, as was noticeable when it was long because it would get a very slight red tint to it if I was in the sun for any length of time. Now it's short enough to not notice that because my hairline receded too much to make long hair look anything other than ludicrous.

Yep, I believed the flowers story too

 

[TennisTina]

Yep, I believed the flowers story too

What was the story?

 

[FloellaB]

What was the story?

That he frittered away millions of pounds on flowers but actually he spent it on

Caspar Jopling seen for the first time since split with Ellie Goulding

The singer, 37, and the art dealer, 31, shared a joint statement to Instagram after it was revealed Ellie had moved on with hunky surf instructor Armando Perez.

His ‘downcast’ photo may be the first one I’ve ever seen that’s made me think he’s mildly attractive

 

[L3moning]

That he frittered away millions of pounds on flowers but actually he spent it on

Given that its Elton I can see both bring true

John S was a heavy smoker like most of the Corrie cast.

Granada had to implement a smoking ban in dressing rooms after a lit ciggy in his dressing room caused a fire.

I caught a bit of Classic Corrie this week, with 'Orchid' the bride. Classic comedy I say, classic comedy.

Ellie Goulding came to my restaurant a few years ago, she was a right miserable witch, avoided eye contact with the staff etc, and then didn’t tip. Never forgotten it.

Wasn’t she rumoured to have dated Prince Harry? I’m sure that the TV program ‘The Windsors’ portrayed her as a conniving simpering do-gooder in one of their Christmas specials

 

[ItsDatCuw]

I was convinced John Savident had died years ago. Saw an interview with him once, and he was very well spoken- nothing at all like Fred.
His tributes mention a wife and 2 children so they clearly had an arrangement that suited them

You’re not alone! I actually thought I remembered the death announcement and everything He was in Yes, Minister, and apparently that was his actual accent.

 

[DollyPlops]

Didn’t she do an advert for hair dye where she said something about ‘rock star blonde’? Get over yourself love, you were a popstrel at best

 

[Pulltheotherone]

Didn’t the BBC use the “ fruit and flowers “ line on expenses for ?
I’m sure I’ve heard that before.

I’m sure I’ve heard that before.

I’ve heard that from a friend who used to work in tv.

Just for clarification was Miley Cyrus buying herself actual flowers?

Ellie Goulding came to my restaurant a few years ago, she was a right miserable witch, avoided eye contact with the staff etc, and then didn’t tip. Never forgotten it.

I've always thought that people who don't tend to tip are absolute wankers.

I've said this before but if there was any doubt of her being an absolute wanker, it's worth remembering that a few months into the pandemic, Ellie sacked her long time loyal band and replaced them with musicians & singers on lower wages.

 

[Mancunian]

I've always thought that people who don't tend to tip are absolute wankers.

Especially when, as with Ellie, they have plenty of money.

You’re not alone! I actually thought I remembered the death announcement and everything He was in Yes, Minister, and apparently that was his actual accent.

I was convinced he'd died a while back as well!!!

And I was sure he was gay - I was taken aback when they mentioned a wife and children

I think I'm just thick

 

[PeteM]

Just for clarification was Miley Cyrus buying herself actual flowers?

"I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can"

I don't think she was, seeing as that's one hell of a coke binge ego fest going on in the chorus.

 

[Chocolategoggler]

Yeah he picked up some young fella in a bar, took him back to his flat to offer him ‘acting advice’ and ended up with his throat slashed

Fred was a fab character though. Proper old school Corrie. ‘I say, I say, I say Ashlehhh’. RIP

I had a decorator come and do the outside of my house who was just like "Fred Elliott", spoke exactly like him and even looked quite like him.
I was doing work at home and a colleague who was there asked me if I had the TV on somewhere in the house, and I said no, it's the decorator.
When the windows were left open to dry we were laughing so much we didn't get much work done.

I've just watched Gogglebox's reaction to Eric Cantona's singing . Who knew the lyrics had 'vampire' in there. I'll have Google them in full now.

Edited to add: I've just watched the official video for the song. The difference is insane. duck. Ha
