DD went to Cream Dream ( I know !) Cafe in London today ( she had a fabulous cake ) and was sitting next to a celebrity - Male, 50 + ish,, in a houndstooth jacket, wide trousers and a pink beret. other people asked for a photo, and apparently he was really nice to them, so we know it was someone famous, but who ????

AIBU to ask you all to help work out who it might have been ? ( sorry shoe horned into AIBU as I was hoping for a quick answer !)

Was he black or white? Was he large or small? Did he wear glasses or have facial hair? Did he have an accent? More info is seriously needed.

Jonathan Ross? He can be quite a flamboyant dresser.

She thinks not -but its a good thought.

V annoying that she was so tactful and didn't try to take more of a photo - we have a torso and a hand

Its tweed not houndstooth - wretched child giving us this mystery

She says no, it wasn't - apparently Eddie Izzard has his pink beret stolen.

He drank tea in a pretty mug.
