Mine would have to be Richard Osman. I love his books and his podcast. He just seems a nice interesting person.

Miranda Hart

Another vote for Ricky Gervais. He's a people hater like me and I love how much he supports animal charities

JKR, Jurgen Klopp and Michelle Obama. All three would make my "dream dinner party" guests, too :)

Alice Cooper or Stephen King. I think they would both be fascinating to speak to. My husband's cousin lives very close to Stephen King and knows him quite well, and has always said that he is a delightful man. I have to confess that I've fancied Alice Cooper for over 50 years, since I was 14, so I might not necessarily just want to be friends 😆😆

Victoria Beckham, she's been my fantasy best friend for a long time.

Lots already mentioned but I'm currently binging Homes Under the Hammer and thinking that Dion Dublin seems like a really lovely fella, I'd quite like to be friends with him. I used to like Lucy when she presented and still like Martin and Tommy, they can all be in my circle of friends. Reckon they would all be good craic on a night out.

TheOnlyMrsW · 20/05/2024 15:30

Dave Grohl, Andi Oliver, Olivia Coleman and Cerys Matthews!!!!

Rev Kate Bottley. She just seems so nice and funny and down to earth. I think she's be a great friend to have.

Still2unfit · 20/05/2024 15:50

Gino D'Acampo, Gordon Ramsey and Freddie Flintoff for a night out as I think they would be hilarious.

Claudia Winkelman and Stacey Dooley seem fun, too.

LaurieLeecountry · 20/05/2024 16:04

JK Rowling.

A friend of mine is RL friends with her so I sometimes see her on Facebook and yes she does seem nice!

Youllnevergetabetterbitofbutteronyourknife · 20/05/2024 16:16

Both the Stacey's! Dooley and Solomon. They seem like really genuine girls and a great laugh!

LizzieBennett73 · 20/05/2024 16:16

Kevin Costner, I love how he tells stories on chat shows. Sort of guy you could listen to for hours and hours and hours.

Marcus Wareing. Seems to have a great sense of humour and can cook. What else is there to need?

Slightly worried there's a trend there for older guys with dodgy beards though...

Second many above but I'm adding Dilly Carter from Sort Your Life Out.

MyblackVWTiguan · 20/05/2024 17:21

Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland from Coldplay - both seem very upbeat positive people.

Calyx72 · 20/05/2024 17:43

JKR definitely, I think we could chat for ages
Stephen King
Keanu - would talk motorbike rides

In my head I am already bezzies with Nigella Lawson (yes I know she's messy that's half the fun)

@footgoldcycle, at a BBQ, we could play Theft and Shrubbery...what larks!

A lot of the female stand ups- Deirdre O'Kane, Nina Conti, Jo Brand.
