Which celebrity would you like as a close friend?

Mine would be Ben Fogle. I love his series BF New lives in the wild. He comes across as such a caring, compassionate and down to earth person. He’s a great listener and loves to hear real people’s life stories. He also looks like he gives great hugs!

I read on a thread on here ages ago that she is notoriously bitchy, at least with other people/women she works with, which is very disappointing. I like her too, though, and persist in thinking that she is actually lovely!

That is a shame. My SIL is in a similar role to her but really dislikes her for some reason.

Bob Mortimer (for the laughs), Gemma Collins (to shop, gossip and eat cake with) and Jordan Stephens (for general hyping and therapy speak).

Aww no. How do you know this? I've always thought he comes across as really down to earth and genuine.

Also a vote for Alan Carr! I also like Grace Dent as she always looks so miserable haha (I remember the slating she got on I’m a Celeb) but I reckon she is nice under than persona and as a fellow Northerner I just feel we would get on

I love that Grace Dent doesn't feel the need to smile and ingratiate in photos.
I think she's hilarious, clever and genuinely warm. I like her on her Comfort Eating podcast.

Alan Cumming. He's fabulous. Also did you see him in the programme touring with Miriam Margoles (quite a handful!)? He was so nice to her!

Jasmine Harman she looks so kind on Place in the Sun 😍

Jasmine is the queen of passive aggressiveness! We love her various sly “you’re looking for a champagne property on a lemonade budget” digs or, “well I looked for what you told me you wanted but unfortunately you were still not satisfied” comments.

We have a sly dig Place in the Sun order: Jasmine, Laura, Johnny (RIP), Danni, Ben

Scarlet is your lovely Place in the Sun best friend to have. 😆

He really irritates me.
I’m sure he’s lovely but he does go on a bit.

Show quote history

Awww I can see how he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but he seems so genuine and he’d make me laugh. I quite love him after Traitors.
