Rubbish title but hopefully you know what I mean.

For me, those who spring to mind are:
Sir David Attenborough
Tom Hanks
Usain Bolt
Judy Dench

I’d be gutted if it came out that Leonardo Di Caprio was a wrong ‘in….. I’ve always had a soft spot for him.

Who, Leo who only goes out with women under 25 😂 no, it's not a crime, but I still think it makes him a bit of a creep.

I lost all respect for Joanna Lumley after reading an article where she said some horrible victim-blaming things about women who go out wearing short skirts and get sexually assaulted...

One of those allegedly had a super injunction

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 31/05/2023 06:46

If it’s Andre Marr, he had to admit to taking out the super-injunction. Not allegedly at all.

Jasper Carrot. Wonderful funny guy.

The whole Tom Hanks /Epstein island thing is a bunch of conspiracy theory nutjobbery. Not credible at all.

Jurgen Klopp
Dolly Parton

Clarkson is an arse but at least he’s open about it and I quite like him in a way - I’d be gutted if it turned out there was even worse stuff.

I've worked with a few and can confirm Terry Wogan was an utter delight. I'm sure I've mentioned it here before but he was just consummate professional but friendly and lovely. And made me feel like the most important person in the room.

I also used the bbc gym in bush house before it got renamed wogan house. I would have to wait outside for them to open the bloody thing and saw him arriving most mornings to do his show. He always said bye and thanks to his driver before saying hello and chatting to the security guard before he went in. Every single time.

Ray Mears was lovely too. Genuinely interested in talking to me and referenced a few things I'd mentioned when we later filmed his interview. Everyone loved him.

Ant and Dec are exactly how you see them on screen. Just friendly. No bad words against them.

Attenborough. Well I'm surprised people have said bad things. I've worked with him and several friends have worked with him. And always had a nice experience. Really professional and took an interest in me and what we were working on. Really unstarry. Could have asked for a massive rider. But didn't ask for anything. (Unlike the Hollywood actress who demanded the ice cubes were made from a certain brand of water...)

People like rowan Atkinson I've never worked with but from what I gather from friends who have is he's just very shy. Hates all the publicity crap and just wants to be left alone.

There's a world of difference between having a shit day or not wanting to be 'on' 24/7 and being a rude Twat who hoovers up coke with his girlfriend while you're trying to direct them on set.

Those who are saying Alexander Armstrong.

I would have agreed with you,
then I went to an industry awards dinner a few years ago were he was the host. It was a really male dominated event.

He came out on stage, and his first line opening 'joke' was....

"What has 100 legs and no pubes?..... The front row of a Justin Bieber concert"..

Honestly set the tone for the whole night. I've not looked at him the same since,
