Would you judge me for fancying Giles Brandreth?

[NicoPolastri]

Is it the kind of thing I shouldn’t admit to in public?

Sorry, it’s Gyles!

Yes, he’s an annoying twit.

If you're my DD I'm cutting you out of the Will.

I was a bit shocked watching gogglebox last week when he said he had a wife - i presumed he was gay! I think there’s a bit of a frisson between him and Sheila Hancock...

I fancy Louis Theroux if it makes you feel any better...

I think he is ageing well.

I thought he is gay, but I met his wife a couple of weeks ago.

I enjoy listening to him on the radio but he doesn't get me all of a flutter. I wouldn't think any less of you if you did though. Had it been Nicholas Parsons though I'd have had to fight you as he's mine.

Netball you’re welcome to Nicholas Parsons!

No. He is funny, clever and a good raconteur.

he's written some good books.

It's weird because I have recently warmed to him after years of finding him strange and annoying. I think he would be really good company and make me laugh a lot. And that's attractive.

He's funny and clever and I agree he'd be good company.

Yes HelloCheeky that’s where I’m at too!

He is sometimes a guest on Sunday Brunch and is absolutely hilarious.

I dont fancy looks wise but I listen to him on the radio on lot .
He's funny charming intelligent and got a razor sharp wit so I can see why you like him

I would judge you. Harshly. Does he still wear those bloody sweaters?

I quite liked his ‘great big funny book’ in 1979 though.

I used to loathe him. But as we have both grown older I find he is getting funnier and more attractive.

He mostly wears rather well tailored suits.

He and Sheila ‘Cheekbones’ Hancock are much the funniest people on Celebrity Gogglebox. Have the Vardys actually said anything? Have Little Mix got a shared braincell that needs its batteries replaced?

Yes I would op.

🤣

In our house, he’s a bit of a hero as he’s given us a tremendous running joke/catchphrase. When he was on the radio once, he told a story about a voice warm up exercise the actor Donald Sinden used to do:

Hip bath
Hip bath
Lavatory
Lavatory
Bidet
Bidet
Douche

It’s my favourite thing of the year. You have to do it in a posh Giles B way...

Agreed Disputed!

Yes please hippo

His son, Benet Brandreth, has written some fun thrillers on Shakespeare in Italy. He seems pretty talented, but I couldn't fancy either of them!

His kids are lovely (studied with one, worked with the other).
