must beAllegedly the Member of Parliament for Tatton is known as the anal queen of Westminster!
Ah, that wife beater Bruno Brookes who dislocated her elbow.

The thing is, no one knows for sure that Macaulay Culkin wasn’t abused by Michael Jackson. As I said, I read an interview with him, and he was blaming his drug addiction on his “friendship” with Michael Jackson. Also, if Macaulay had said that he WAS abused by MJ, that pretty much would have been the end of his career. Hollywood May be a town full of vile perverts, but look at what happens when anyone speaks out against them, Corey Feldman is a good example, he has spoken about his experience, but its unlikely that he will get another movie role..
In my opinion Michael Jackson did abuse Macaulay Culkin, and he became a drug addict because of what happened to him. MJ was no better than Saville, he preyed on innocent young boys, whose families were so bleeping “Star Struck” by his celebrity, and ended up handing their kids over because they trusted him, he was Michael Jackson!! The biggest star in the world!! And he lived in a Theme Park!! He groomed entire family’s, and he destroyed the lives of countless children. Good job he’s dead.
Yes, you are right. Was it white chocolate, I’m guessing by the name it was. That pretty much finished her tv career didn’t it.,
I think Gordon the Gopher deserves our sympathy for having to share a broom cupboard with that granny faced wanker Schofield
Yeah, but I bet Della laughed when Grant was found out having an affair with a girl in her 20’s. Karma.
Women: Anthea Turner on the violence she suffered
The affair, the autobiography ... you may be forgiven for thinking there is no stone Anthea Turner has left unturned. But there is one secret she has never shared, until now: the violence she says she suffered at the hands of her former lover, Bruno Brookes.
www.theguardian.com
He denies that.
I never liked Bruno Brookes, just something “off” about him... So he used to beat up his wife? What a Scumbag. I wondered what had happened to him...
Do you honestly think Anthea Turner wrote her own autobiography?
I guess most famous people use someone to do the actual writing ! I’m never keen on autobiographies where they kind of gloss over the interesting stuff but AT gives the nitty gritty .
I think it’s telling that she has a good relationship with her stepdaughters though. I follow her on insta. Bovey makes my skin crawl and I start to dislike her but maybe she just is what she is? Into cleaning and stuff
Same. I think her nickname “Princess Tippy Toes” describes her quite well... Eamon really hated her at one point didnt heNot keen on her at all. No idea why but she irritates the tit out of me.
I also believe Oscar Pistorious’ version of events - ive never been called for jury duty yet though.
I wouldn’t describe myself as aNot keen on her at all. No idea why but she irritates the tit out of me.
Fan - I was laid up with a broken leg a few years ago and my mum came visiting with a pile of library books including Anthea and also Ulrika’s autobiogs!
I loved those snow flake bars!! Why do Cadbury’s etc stop these bars?? I wish they would bring back Cabana Bars, Texan Bars, Fry’s 5 flavours, and I used to be obsessed with Milky Way’s, until they changed the bleeping recipe!!! I still love Kinder Eggs...
I saw her at the Royal Variety Performance back in 1993 or 1994, when That That performed (and I saw them all back stage)! She was introducing the performance at the start. She spent a half hour perfecting her camera face, turning her head this way and that, fussing with her hair. Comical to watch....
Anyone remember the Nutty bar? Fudge and toffee covered with nuts. Truly wonderful. Maybe showing my age though.I loved those snow flake bars!! Why do Cadbury’s etc stop these bars?? I wish they would bring back Cabana Bars, Texan Bars, Fry’s 5 flavours, and I used to be obsessed with Milky Way’s, until they changed the bleeping recipe!!! I still love Kinder Eggs...
Ooh the best autobiography I read, was Jodie Marsh’s. I know she’s hardly a zleb, and I’m really not a fan, but her book is actually really really funny. You’ll probably find it in any charity shop’s bargain bin
Mmmm Cabana BarsI loved those snow flake bars!! Why do Cadbury’s etc stop these bars?? I wish they would bring back Cabana Bars, Texan Bars, Fry’s 5 flavours, and I used to be obsessed with Milky Way’s, until they changed the bleeping recipe!!! I still love Kinder Eggs...
They were delish, too.
I’m a bit conflicted on the ‘Anthea Turner as a victim of domestic violence at the hands of Bruno Brookes’ thing.
She comes across as one of those people who would say or do anything for public approval or sympathy. Which makes me less likely to believe her unquestioningly.
The Snowflake photos at her wedding to Grant Bovey, for example. Not for one second do I believe that they were duped into promoting a chocolate bar. Who, at their wedding reception, poses for a photo simultaneously eating a new chocolate bar and gurning for the camera? unless they were being paid, which I have no doubt that they were. Why pretend they were tricked into it? They should have just owned it.
I occasionally watch the BBC4 repeats of TOTP. It’s 1989 at present, and both Anthea and Bruno Brookes regularly pop up as presenters. I am incredulous every time that either of them would ever have been given a job presenting a programme with aspirations to coolness. Both of them are an embarrassment. Anthea Turner, at that time, would do anything to be on the telly, even if it involved making a show of herself. One Christmas day she was on telly dressed as a leprechaun and dancing on her own to Status Quo. I was aghast. I turned 18 in 1989 and she, Bruno Brookes and all they represented were so far from anything I aspired to or found appealing that it was laughable.
So it was with some surprise that I saw Anthea Turner pop up as a highly-paid presenter on GMTV, but it was an endless daily source of humour before I left for work. It was obvious that she and Eamonn Holmes LOATHED each other.
Anthea appeared to hate all the other presenters as well. I once watched her being really awful to Julia Bradbury, who now presents countryside and walking programmes and is a good presenter. At that time Julia was the GMTV showbiz correspondent. One morning she was doing an outside broadcast from the Viper Room in LA - think it must have been the first or second anniversary of River Phoenix’s death or something. Anyway Anthea interrupted Julia with some random question and said something like, “I think you need to come back and talk to us when you know more facts, don’t you?”, accompanied by this awful fake sickly smile of triumph. I really felt for Julia Bradbury but she managed to just about keep her countenance. Even people on the train to work were talking about how horrible Anthea Turner had been that morning!
Re the Grant Bovey thing: that, too, was hilarious. One of the newspapers printed extracts from Anthea’s autobiography when it was released: she was still married to Bovey then and was in full self-justification mode. Whilst she had been friends with Della Bovey, she felt justified in getting off with her husband because she, Anthea, was the victim of an unhappy marriage. Reading between the lines, she had been giving Grant Bovey the ‘poor little me’ act, and she called him from a hotel she was staying in for work to moan about how unhappy she was. He said that he’d come over to see her - they had not yet consummated their great love - and what do you think was her biggest worry? Cheating on her husband? Betraying her friend? Not a bit of it! No, she was most concerned that she was wearing her ‘comfy Hanro knickers’. Because she couldn’t be all sexy for their first night together. Making sure to drop in that her knickers were from an expensive Swiss brand, naturally! No M&S for Anthea.
(The autobiography was not a big seller, despite these details)
Hilariously, after Grant left Della, she wrong-footed him completely. Instead of weeping for her lost love, she got her hair done, got her glad rags on and went dancing with her mates. She also put a sign up in the garden saying that she’d lost a dog and a husband and that there was a reward for the dog. Go Della. Grant slunk back to her before she threw him out again a few months later and he returned to Anthea.
Flake-gate swiftly followed (the headline on the tabloids that day, accompanying the ‘scoffing chocolate at the wedding reception’ picture, was ‘sickener’). Her TV career fell flat on its arse. It was around this time that she made the allegations against Bruno Brookes. She also posed naked with a snake for Tatler and went on celebrity Big Brother.
She made a second bid for fame maybe ten years ago, trying to show us all how to be a ‘perfect housewife’. Bloody hell, Anthea, just accept that your TV career is over!I don’t know what she is doing now but I predict desperate podcasting.

Texan bar used to give me heartburn! Remember the original Cadbury’s boost...? that was the best.I loved those snow flake bars!! Why do Cadbury’s etc stop these bars?? I wish they would bring back Cabana Bars, Texan Bars, Fry’s 5 flavours, and I used to be obsessed with Milky Way’s, until they changed the bleeping recipe!!! I still love Kinder Eggs...
