Alvin Hall that's a name from the past! I had a photo of him on my desk in work to remind me to be careful with my wages.
"Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate!" was his mantra 😂

I would be mates with Bob Mortimer all day long.

I've met Derren before and he was lovely, but that was on a professional basis - I'd love to just chat with him!

I've name changed for this ...

I know Carey Mulligan (and her husband Marcus Mumford). She's lovely. They aren't an obvious couple but they get on so well together.

Ooh, tell her I want to be her bestie 😀
