Didn't Cilla Black feature heavily on 'meanest rudest celeb' thread?

Because I've just read that one of the main reasons we don't see her on telly much is due to a Head Honcho at ITV refusing utterly to have her on any ITV show. Apparently it goes back to when Head Honcho was a runner on a Cilla Black show long long ago . . . .

Remember who you pass on the way up eh Cilla . . . . . .?

Ooooh - I love a Cilla bashing thread. Utter utter bitch is what I've heard too. Love Paul O'Grady - hope he's not a twat in real life.

(Love MollieO's casual Concorde namedropping post up the thread)

Makes me sound like one of jetset doesn't it?Grin Although the truth is less interesting - I paid for it with airmiles! It was utterly fab and the only time I've flown back from New York and not been jetlagged. Fortunately I wasn't sitting anywhere near Cilla.

Nancy66 · 27/03/2011 19:52

she's a 24 carat cunt - you won't find a single person in television with a good word to say about her.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 27/03/2011 19:55

I LOVE Paul O'Grady to pieces and would be devastated if he was like Cilla. I'm assuming the friendship is part of his charity work.

How much of a cunt was she on Gok? Even Gok looked disgusted with her and Gok loves everyone.

Bumperlicioso · 27/03/2011 20:22

Wow I had no idea. I want to hear more gossip!

TheDailyWail · 27/03/2011 20:30

I worry that Cilla may turn into a mumsnet "She Who Must Not Be Surprise Surprised"

Y'all have short memories!

I met Dale Winton years ago on TOTP and he was horrible. Moody, wouldn;t interact at all, and turned it on for the cameras. Right old misery.

Hope Paul O'Grady isn't an arse.

Bumperlicioso · 27/03/2011 20:33

I only think people have to worry about things that aren't true. Swmnbn didn't actually strap babies to rockets as far as I know...

"dale winton and paul o grady love her - they must be like that too then.yuk"

I always think that Dale has a malevolent glint in his eye when he's on the gogglebox, like her could turn on you for bugger all.

I must say, I am shocked about our Cilla. I always thought she'd make a lovely nanna. :(

TheDailyWail · 27/03/2011 20:35

Yeah - but in her mind she's still adored and loved by the public.

Deluded? allegedly Wink

jonicomelately · 27/03/2011 20:39

I know something about her but daren't say what on here. What I will say is that she is very money obsessed. She talks about how much money she has, what she afford to do etc a lot, especially on Loose Women which is very Hmm imo.

marmaladetwatkins · 27/03/2011 20:45

If you won't say it on here, say it in PM Wink

KenDoddsDadsDog · 27/03/2011 20:50

She was an arse to my boss in Barbados.
thesecondcoming I always knew Robson Green would be an arse!
If Paul O'Grady is horrid I would be gutted. Love him.

TheDailyWail · 27/03/2011 20:53

PM all of us!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 27/03/2011 21:02

jonicomelately · 27/03/2011 21:10

Sorry folks Sad

yousankmybattleship · 27/03/2011 21:36

Ha ha.

OrangeBernard you and I obviously heard the same thing re the offing of knickers on a very regular basis in the "early days"!!!!!

Oh Joni - you can PM us!!! Then you won't out yourself!??!

wahwahwah · 28/03/2011 10:19

Aparently she is not on TV much because it takes them hours in make-up because of her drinkers-complexion (if you know what I mean).

She was a rotten singer too.

TwoIfBySea · 28/03/2011 13:20

She has a very interesting reputation amongst BA cabin crew as being a right bitch according to Popbitch and as a contributer I fully endorse this!
