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!

@GoldenThready

I've asked my husband three words to use Grin... he said "woman", "hair" and "funny". Blush
No, I reckon you’re Caitlin Moran.

@GoldenThready…DM me If you are Julia Roberts 😂

Phantom1 · 27/03/2022 21:45

I used to know Paul Barber from Only Fools and Horses.

IggysPop · 27/03/2022 21:48

I spent time with Orlando Bloom pre-LoR (friend of a friend). Was very regular nice guy - polite and on the quiet side.

Yes, I'm good friends with Fish from Marillion and we exchange messages weekly and chat

I realise most of you won't know who this is

Love Marillion, was never the same after Fish left

I think @GoldenThready is Claudia Winkleman

Where are you on a sliding scale of Timmy Mallet to Angelina Jolie*?

😹😹😹

WellTidy · 27/03/2022 21:50

@GoldenThready I think you’re Dawn French. If you are, can I just say how very much I loved you in Roger and Val. Your best work, in my ever so humble opinion.

My brother knows a few actors as he works with them. I knew Brand new heavies members as best male friend knew them. My mum was good friends with Jan Pienkowski.

@GeneLovesJezebel

A friend of mine knows Damon from Brookside (Simon O’Brien) and says he’s not as friendly as you see him on TV. Quite aloof.
Oh no, gutted! Still got a crush on him to this day from when he was Damon Grant. He's always seemed so nice.

I used to feed Zoe Ball’s cats for her when her work meant she couldn’t. She’s absolutely lovely, and exactly as she comes across on telly/radio. Incredibly thoughtful and generous too. Her cats were adorable.

A friend of mine is close buddies with Reverend Richard Coles. It’s funny commenting on his FB posts and then seeing a comment from him pop up too.

PollyPutTheKettleOnKettleOn · 27/03/2022 21:57

Always loved Zoe Ball!

@Justleaveitblankthen

Unfortunately, PPS who are being unnecessarily vague "Actor in a long running Netflix series" Hmm You are making what could be a fun and interesting thread into a pointless one.

One of my closest buddies is Melanie Chisholm from the Spice girls.

Yay finally someone revealing who they know. I really like Mel C she comes across as down to earth funny and gas a damned good voice. I can imagine her being a lovely friend.

My DH used to live next door to Coleen Nolan and Shane Ritchie and was friends with their son 😂

AnastasiaRomanov · 27/03/2022 22:02

I knew a very well known writer through OH . Attended our wedding. Lost touch now though.

AnastasiaRomanov · 27/03/2022 22:03

Also another very well known writer is my sisters mother in law.

Jenny Eclair. If it is I went on a cruise with you once, you were one of the nicer celebs 😂

@YodaLivesOnMySofa

I’m friends with Ulrika Jonsson, she’s really, really lovely.
@YodaLivesOnMySofa

I don’t know her personally but I love her 💕 she makes me smile when I see her and she gets too much stick, well used to.

Starstar7 · 27/03/2022 22:06

I used to live next door to Mrs Mangel from Neighbours and I now live in the same road as a Tellytubby actor.

@Justleaveitblankthen Mel Looks incredible in her insta post today with her mum. Always thought she was the most talented of the bunch!

My DC used to be in the same private school class with one of his children. He caused a lot of issues at the school and in the end had a falling out with them and removed the child and put them in another local private school.

My sister works for The Queen.
Oooh.. any gossip?
