Who on earth am I thinking of?!

It’s driving me mad! I have to say I’m useless at celebrities at the best of times so some/many of these details might not even be accurate! 🙈 I’ve just been talking about a comedian/TV presenter (I think!) from the 90s (I think!). He’s definitely from Liverpool, short, overweight. I see him wearing like a suit but slouchy and maybe no tie. Dark hair, longer at the back. I want to say he’s dead now but can’t be sure about that either! I keep saying he looks a bit like Donny Osmond but again maybe he doesn’t! My partner is laughing at me and I just keep saying he must know who I mean! He doesn’t! Any ideas at all? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ah thanks! No, not Stan Boardman though. Like a little snub nose I think! Quite chubby!

Sounds a bit like John Bishop but he’s not overweight…

Tarbuck? Can’t see the Donny Osmond resemblance though.

No not John Bishop. Not as scouse as John Bishop. I kind of see him with Cilla Black maybe (but only maybe!) so maybe late 80s even. Hmm so annoying!

I think he’s definitely a bit scouse, but maybe just a lilt-maybe more Wirral or even Lancashire (told you I’m useless!) . I think that might be throwing people off.
