It's Sunday. I'm bored! Do you have any celebrity friends as in close enough to have them on Watsapp etc. Come on give us a clue, maybe some MNers will even be brave enough to tell us names!

@Ratatoo

I know Ferne Cotton, she's a bit bonkers but really kind and lovely. She's a Mumsnetter too.
Ooh maybe another good thread. What celebrities are secret Mumsnetters???

I've worked with Gareth Gates. Surprising attractive and talented man, we didn't exchange phone numbers though so doesn't count.

@TyrantosaurusRex

I would love to be friends with Stacey Solomon though, she always seems so lovely!
Really? That’s interesting, I always think her Instagram comes across as so staged and fake it’s laughable.

Not a friend as such, but I've met David Tennant quite a few times, as his late father was good friends with a family member of mine.

He is, I'm pleased to say, every bit as nice and charming as you think he is, and his dad was a lovely man too. Grin

@Gonnagetgoing

I know one of the ex 3am journalists - won't name her - she's a snobby bitch.

I worked with and knew for a bit George Clarke - the architect. Twat.

Doesn't surprise me at all about George Clarke, he comes across as a massive twat.

@Slatkater Ooh, who then?!

@Alwayspaintyournails

We are neighbours with the lead singer of a popular Scottish band. Nice fella, lovely grounded wife too. Frequently use local bars/restaurants etc and nobody seems to bother him. Acting the big shot wouldn’t wash in our town though Smile.
Ricky Ross from Deacon Blue?
JaneJeffer · 28/03/2022 13:48

Hardly @Rhannion because his wife is just as famous surely?

Catclean · 28/03/2022 13:56

David Grohl for one - a very nice bloke indeed. I meet quite a few well known people because of what my partner does in the music world. Musicians often come to our home.

Delighted to hear that Dave Grohl is as nice as he seems to be. Grin

The poster said his wife is grounded as well so I just thought it might be Ricky and Lorraine. Could be one of The Proclaimers?
frenchfancy81 · 28/03/2022 14:09

I used to date Tom Hardy but Bradley Cooper finally persuaded me to try a date with him so...🤷🏼‍♀️

JaneJeffer · 28/03/2022 14:20

Oh maybe it is then @Rhannion Lorraine is a gorgeous looking woman.

@JaneJeffer

I don't know her/ them, but I hear from a very good source that she was a total arse back in the day- called all the shots and absolutely loved herself. They did have an affair and he left his wife and very young baby, so I've never warmed to either.

@WiddlinDiddling

What are you expecting folk to say though...

If someone is friends with a person, they're going to say they're lovely, who on earth is friends with someone they don't like!

My friend Sarah and her hubby are lovely.
My friend Vikki and her hubby are also lovely.
My friend Carolyn is extremely lovely.
My friend Charlotte is the loveliest person ever.
My friend Tony is a delight.

Some of those are 'famous'. Does it matter which. I don't have shitty friends.

What is so exciting about it - they're just people, they do jobs that happen to involve being on TV!

Fun sponge

And "hubby"?

@Scienceseeker Zoe and Alfie then? 👀

It’s not them no! Smile

JaneJeffer · 28/03/2022 16:02

@Snoopdogsbitofposh I didn't realise he was married previously. Not saying I approve of how he treated his first wife but the chemistry between him and Lorraine was unreal and they're still together all these years later.

sqirrelfriends · 28/03/2022 16:15

My ex colleagues dog used to get walked by the sister of a soap star.

That was really outing so I should probably name change now.

Didydani · 28/03/2022 16:24

Yes, Jodie Comer from the likes of Doctor Foster, Killing Eve etc. I used to live a door down from her in childhood and played out together.

@CailleachGranda it really isn't polite to mock people for the language they use.

@YodaLivesOnMySofa

I’m friends with Ulrika Jonsson, she’s really, really lovely.
I adore her.
DameHelena · 28/03/2022 17:34

I know Neil Tennant, he is very good at playing tea party, so much so that my little one always makes him do it.
That's just about the most adorable thing I've ever read.

I suppose you sometimes can't help who you fall in love with, but think the baby was really tiny and that just stuck, we all know how vulnerable we are in those early months.
