@AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken

I think he's enjoying all the press interest. He's lapping it up.
Yeh he loves himself
Howlooseisyourgoose · 14/10/2020 08:47

E! channel in America are all like ‘Dominic gets to go back to his castle and have a pot of tea and crumpets’ 😂

I was also in Trinity with them. I remember him as an arrogant boorish arse and her as nice but sort of flyaway and spacy in the way that only the beautiful and rich can be. I can't say any more or I'll completely triangulate myself!

@Autumngoldleaf

All, I thought that too! Maybe he was going for

'' totally unconcerned nonchalance ''?

It didn’t quite come off. No wonder he’s not in the upper echelons.
IncandescentSilver · 14/10/2020 10:37

Janegrey333 he's not in the top echelons ion anything really. All those advantages, married well, Eton, and he still comes across as a bit of an over-acting imposter.

He's also thick waisted and there's a definate resemblance to Fred West - I wonder if there's some distant familial link?

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 14/10/2020 11:00

He does look so tragic on that scooter with his butt poking out, even if Lily was wanting a bonk with him, now she's seen those pictures she will be cringing.

Nikori · 14/10/2020 11:01

Did anyone else notice that she kept her left hand hidden in her pocket during the whole press call? I think things aren't as happy as he wants to pretend, but I guess they want rid of the press.

There is another Blind Gossip item called "Protecting Her From The Timberlake Effect" which I guess is about Lily.

EachandEveryone · 14/10/2020 11:06

I’m sure she’s had the bonk😃

He looks like the love child of Michael Portillo and Peter Andre. Bleurgh. Film stars are not what they once were.

user1471565182 · 14/10/2020 11:33

He has that posh twat way of walking were it seems hes always walking uphill with a hunting dog at heel and Lily whicheveronesheis is very much from the Anthea Turner school unthreatening looks, especially after seeing her blandfest in War and Peace.

TheOneWhoWalksInTheSun · 14/10/2020 11:38

I thought she was not bad in most of War and Peace.

But didn't pull off the strength in a crisis aspect.

TheOneWhoWalksInTheSun · 14/10/2020 11:39

So yeah bland I guess!

TheOneWhoWalksInTheSun · 14/10/2020 11:45

I didn't think his dancing was so great.

Confident certainly!

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 14/10/2020 11:52

Bloody hell no need to bring Anthea Turner into it 😂

user1471565182 · 14/10/2020 12:00

You know you can just say names like David Tennant out loud? nobody is coming to break your door down if you dont speak in riddles?

TheSpottedZebra · 14/10/2020 12:02

The DM seems keen to point out that Catherine 'clutched a tissue' throughout the wierd photocall. I think they're trying to signal that the sunbeams really were not shining bright that day.

Also, he wore the same outfit in Rome, at airport and at photocall. Maybe like me he struggles to fine well-fitting trousers for his massive arse? Also, he CAN wear a face mask correctly when on his own in a car, but not when he actually needs to.

Just waiting to see how Laurence Fox is going to smear himself over all this somehow now.

user1471565182 · 14/10/2020 12:24

Not much quarantining going on either is there

Lily is good friends with Laurence's Ex Billie so I'm sure he'll have something to say!
TeachesOfPeaches · 14/10/2020 12:31

Is this story for real? I wondered if Dominic west has something to promote and this was all PR considering he was in a tv show called The Affair

True. But any suggestion of marital discord disappears from the internet pretty quickly. They clearly have someone monitoring what's being said about them & cleaning it up. I've seen numerous blinds/online posts along the lines of what has been said here which disappeared sooner rather than later. Which is fair enough.

So I guess avoiding saying the name and relying on clues was done in an attempt to ensure that the comment remained in situ.

JudyGemstone · 14/10/2020 13:38

Have those saying he looks like Fred West seen Appropriate Adult?

He's amazing in it, great performance. And no they're not related!

Janegrey333 · 14/10/2020 13:49

What’s David Tennant got to do with it all? Or perhaps I don’t want to know...

Janegrey333 · 14/10/2020 13:50

I don’t think Dom is handsome, incidentally. Not my type.
