I have a 12 year old DM about Richard Keys from a gossip thread. I didn’t know who he was then and I still don’t, other than he’s a Sky presenter I think.

I didn't even know that. Never heard of the bloke. I came on to this thread to find out who he was.

What is the appeal 🤑

Sad old man. Always thought his face looked like a plate.
The friend looks like the daughter, who in turn, looks like her mother.
So basically he's marrying his ex wife when she looked young.
Which implies he has issues about his own ageing.
Sad old man!

Exactly what I thought.
What a weird man.

He's 66! This is what I don't get, what woman in her 30s wants a 66 year old. Plus his daughter appears to be devastated. Why would you do that to your daughter/friend?

I remember I always marvelled at how hairy his hands were back when he was on British tv. Sorry that’s not moving the thread along at all but I never thought I’d have to dredge that memory up again!

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 28/06/2023 16:14

Surely with that age gap it won’t last? What woman in her 30s wants a man who is THAT much older? In ten years won’t he be pushing 80 and she’ll still (ok, might) be able to get pregnant?

Men are fundamentally just very selfish

They often care more about their penis than they do their families

They are selfish .

HermioneKipper · 28/06/2023 16:15

She reported his daughter to the police and got her arrested!

I could never forgive my dad for condoning that!

I would have wanted to send some nasty texts to a so called ex friend in that scenario too!

Both a pair of scumbags!

I thought that . It struck me how similar his new wife looked like his ex . I wonder how she will feel at 50 when he's about 80 and may not have the get up and go . Plus she may want some children .

drpet49 · 28/06/2023 16:31

Both of them are absolutely disgusting. Even more so the daughters ex friend.

Fairyliz · 28/06/2023 16:35

I assume she was thinking about his massive bank balance. It certainly wasn’t his good looks or stunning personality.

MrsMarzetti · 28/06/2023 16:59

They both deserve al they get.

EvilElsa · 28/06/2023 17:01

My FIL did a similar thing although not with a friend but with a women he met on the internet. Without meeting her first, they arranged within two weeks of starting to chat to get married and proceeded to do so when he went to visit her for the first time. He'd fed her a massive story about having loads of money (he didn't. He had some from his house sale but by no means a fortune) and she soon ripped through that on shopping trips to designer outlets. During this time he basically binned his adult kids, moved away and never spoke to us again (he regularly bitched on Facebook though) UNTIL he was diagnosed as terminally ill and had no money whereupon she couldn't ditch him quick enough. He died a very sad and lonely man as nobody wanted anything to do with him.
I think marrying someone younger than your own daughter is disgusting. What a fucking idiot. His daughter even looks vaguely like the new wife which makes me feel sick. I don't think anyone should stay in a marriage if they are not happy, but shagging your daughters mate is sick.

HaveYouHeardOfARoadAtlas · 28/06/2023 17:09

So the son attended the wedding but not the daughter. Wonder how her relationship is with her brother….I’d struggle to forgive him for going and playing happy families.

IamRoyFuckingKent · 28/06/2023 17:10

Urgh, disgusting old man.

Inyournightgarden · 28/06/2023 17:12

I’m jealous of him tbh haha

if I could pull her, I definitely would and I’m around her age, when I’m his age that would be an amazing result!

AIBUIthinkNot · 28/06/2023 17:16

During his Good Morning Britain days, he might of lived in Datchet behind some big posh gates and we might have gathered all the local milk bottles and left them across his drive making him late for work.
Not sorry any more.

Lessonsinbiology · 28/06/2023 17:57

I doubt it's because she fancies him. Wonder who she forces herself to think about when sleeping with him.

@Inyournightgarden
Would you really want to marry someone who is probably just pretending to get hands on money.
Someone who looks like that and is so much older but is rich will never know how repulsed someone might be when sleeping with them. Would that not bother you?

How long before they'll be divorcing and she get a nice pay out.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 28/06/2023 18:06

Christ, there’s no way in the world I’d want to pull a desperate goldigger like that. 🤮

Habreathmint · 28/06/2023 18:09

He's very dodgy. I can't say on here because it will be deleted but it's to do with what really happened to UJ.

MeeThree · 28/06/2023 18:17

Urgh how repulsive

You “definitely would”?

In the same circumstances? Long term married and if the woman in question was a close friend of your daughter?

Yuck.

Doesn't surprise me.

She looks a bit like her as well, superficially.

@Habreathmint are you saying it was him who did that?
