After the death of Paul o Grady it occurred to me I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him before or after death- ditto George Michael
Other celebs I can think of are David Attenborough and Peter Kay
Are there any others?

No. Wants to show porn to children in schools and thinks it's OK for very young girls to be married off if that's their country's culture.

Show quote history

That’s interesting, I didn’t know those things about him but whenever ice seen him on TV I felt he was a bit “off”

Universally loved Alison Steadman. Bradley Walsh.

Keanu Reeves

Verite1 · 21/04/2023 23:23

keanu reeves. There are so many secret videos showing him being lovely and considerate and kind whilst out and about. If something bad came out about him my faith in humankind would be shattered.

Agree Dolly Parton, Keanu Reeves
i would have said Stephen Fry until I read about his husband
I do have a fondness for Claire Balding

I challenge anybody to say a bad word against Freddie Mercury

Oh , I love Freddie Mercury but I bet he was an utter pain in the neck to work with because he was so focused , a perfectionst .

Brian May though , I cannot recall anyone ever saying anything bad .(Except maybe his barber saying ^Hmm Brian how about we go for a bit more of a drastic trim this time ?)

Ben Shephed - doesn't look like he has a nasty bone in his body

freyamay74 · 21/04/2023 23:55

Simon Reeve

ScarboroughFare · 21/04/2023 23:55

@clpsmum like, dodgy rumours you mean? I saw someone say something similar about him on another thread, but Google didn’t throw up anything when I checked…

Elaine Paige, not Gemma Confused

Paul O'Grady will be sadly missed. I cried the day I heard the news. Such a wonderful man with a heart of gold!

Freddie Mercury was another I never had a bad word against. He was amazing in his music and in himself. A true performer sadly missed!
