I used to work in the west end back when he was performing there and there was a whole lot of "allegedly" talk about Shane Ritchie. He had a reputation as an incurable shagger and not just the 'young and gorgeous' brigade.
In fact a box office manager told me that he had come in needing tickets for some guests and they were flirting and joking with each other and he asked her if she could sort him out. She said it depended on what he meant and he replied that he was hoping for a blowjob. She said ok and off they popped into the back room and allegedly fellatio was performed...allegedly.
A hate the term 'moose' however this women is not remotely attractive in the physical sense and this girls story is pretty similar to some of the rumours back then.
