Blonde, morning tv presenter. Mean girl

I’ve met her too

she’s only where she is because of her husband
not many people like her
nor her colleague who was shagging an 17/18 year old intern and everyone knew but were too scared to mention
but was SO BRAVE for coming out as gay.
both a very disliked

I keep reading this on here over and over again but nobody actually goes into any detail!

horrendous ,rude and self important idiot.

Graham Norton: absolutely vile. Very much punching down at crew etc who were not present. And female celebs who also were not there. Surrounded by sycophants so no one to say “hey mate…”. I was waitressing so in no position to object, but I wish I’d just walked out (would have been tricky money wise).

charming when she wanted to be and really unpleasant if something didn’t go her way or she was inconvenienced
The same can be said of Brian May,

@bloodynewusernameagain

Nooooo don't read the previous thread , my flab has been gasted by the news that the lovely Dr Brian May isn't as perfect as I thought he was Haloween Sad

I'm going to attribute his tardy behaviour on his clogs rubbing his toes or one of his rescue hedgehogs being ill
(He has a Rescue set up on his grounds .........did I mention he was perfect ?)

@70isaLimitNotaTarget A friend of mine is a close friend of Brian Mays and says he is one of the nicest people he has ever met. I am choosing to believe that as I would be so upset if he's an arsehole. He has told many stories about him and all so lovely as well as being over and above as a friend/someone he works with.

The most lovely person I have ever encountered was Joel Dommet. He was sat near us having a pint on the grass with his friend. He had literally JUST sat down and a couple of teens came up to him to ask for a selfie. He was so friendly and warm with them, taking time to chat and having his picture taken. And he didn’t complain about them after they had gone either! A genuinely lovely person!

I'm so glad cos I always think how lovely he seems x

Worked with Graham Norton many years ago. He was the the nastiest most vile, self important celebrity I've ever come across and I've worked with many over the years including some huge American stars. Maybe he's mellowed.

I don't know him and have never met him, but je jas always struck me as a self-important little tw*t.

As this is a gut feeling and not personal experience, I may be wrong.

Ducksinthebath · 23/10/2022 22:12

Well it’s the thin end of the wedge, isn’t it? It might encourage others to do similar but in a less innocuous manner.

I can see why he and/or his people would be annoyed and ask for it to be taken down.

whatdoyousayhey · 23/10/2022 22:08

I heard this about Rowan Atkinson too but he was lovely when I stopped him at Stage Door!

To the poster saying the PR was vile, trust me when i say that vile celebs hide behind their (usually perfectly nice) PRs and make out they're the cunts, while behaving impeccably in public themselves then berating the poor PR. I worked for a very high profile celeb who had form for this. Still does it now. And for the Mr Tumble haters, do not google mr tumble car exhaust. Definitely do not.

I googled..... my God that's something you can't unsee...

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 23/10/2022 22:01

Not that I’m a celebrity but if someone forged a letter from me then tweeted it I’d be fucked off too. What on Earth were the school thinking?!

I don’t understand this post - your school forged a letter from David Attenborough to the pupils??

NessieMcNessface · 23/10/2022 21:47

Met Rowan Atkinson once (after Oliver at the stage door like another poster said) but he was lovely. He must have been exhausted after performing all night but he spoke to every single person waiting and signed everyone’s programmes. It must have taken him about 45 minutes but he didn’t leave anyone out.

MorningPlatypus · 23/10/2022 21:46

I met Goldie at a meet and greet. He hugged me then pretended to hump my leg. 🙄

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 23/10/2022 21:35

@MummyToOrla I can also sympathise with DA on that one. If you wrote a letter in his name and then publicised it, I can see how that might have created problems for him if the views in the letter were assumed to be his. I think that crossed a line.

Anneofwindypoplars · 23/10/2022 21:31

@MummyToOrla i have no opinion on DA either way but I can see why he objected to that to be honest. It’s open to much abuse!

EarthSight · 23/10/2022 21:30

@LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet @LaMigraine You should both watch that clip I've just posted of him.

Obviously googled it 🤣🤣did he really do that?

Oh God..... just watched that clip again @SerenaB12

''I could show you later''......

Noooooooooooo😳😖

I knew someone who worked at the Royal Academy, so not my story...
He told me that David Attenborough was absolutely vile.
( I know I couldn't believe it either)
Apparently the Academy does out of hours openings for their special members. On this occasion J had to open up, was thrilled to do so as he was a huge fan of DH.
Whilst unlocking the areas he turned to David H and mentioned he thought the last episode of xxx was the best TV he had ever seen. DH stood there and stared at him before saying coldly.. " I don't think someone like you should be talking to someone like me"
J was mortified.
On another occasion DH threw his coat at J and told him to take care of it.
He didn't left the coat on the floor and walked away.
Has never watched anything he's made since. Apparently his partner looked embarrassed both times.

I've never been able to see David Attenborough him the same way after seeing this interview and the way he behaved around Jessica Chastain and Cameron Diaz on the Graham Norton show. He had to sexualise both interactions, even though it's obvious the women did not see him in that way. Very awkward to watch. Diaz handled it pretty well (even though you could tell she was embarrassed) but Chastain's discomfort was more obvious. Even Norton turned away from the awkwardness. I think he's very much Old Guard BBC - used to speaking to women and people he thinks are below him in a certain way.

Some of the lovely people we served were Jane McDonald, Ross Kemp and Ainsley Harriott. The latter had someone approach him asking for his autograph and he was just so happy to have been asked.

Ross kemp was in the Kings Cross 1st class lounge a few weeks ago. Trying to seal some deal on the phone when trains were very delayed. Engaged with people coming up to him- seemed nice

Jane Macdonald was often in 1st from Leeds during the day. If anyone engaged with her she gave them the full on theatrical performance- which they loved.
