I just saw a familiar man walking into The Ritz. He was warmly welcomed on the door by a member of staff.

I've seen him on TV a few times, but can't think who he is!

British
White
Late 50s
Rather rotund!
Curly, grey hair
Bon viveur type

Any ideas?

Thank you

Presenting, I think.

He looks like a larger, jolly version of Alan Davies

Jeremy Clarkson?

@TheYeaSayer he bought me a drink and told he I was pretty in 2005. What was your experience?

Never met him, but he was convicted of assaulting two people whilst intoxicated in 2013; convicted of stalking and harassing an ex girlfriend in 2017.

Even your encounter sounds creepy, frankly.

I thought Simon Callow was dead.
Are you sure he’s an actor? Sounds like that famous barrister, who’s name escapes me.

Are you sure that wasn’t just his character in Four Weddings ?!!

Prince Andrew…

oh no you maybe not, you said the Ritz not Pizza Express

Rosscameasdoody · 21/12/2024 17:35

Jay Rayner ?

I agree. RMcG is ghastly. Speaking of ghastly, was it Giles Coren?

Genuine LOL moment!

Sir Simon Rattle, the conductor? Just to chuck another Simon into the mix! 😂

Was he wearing a red velour type suit? With a white fur trim? Did he wear a matching hat? Oh, and a big shiny belt round his round tum? Was he carrying a sack over his shoulder, did he say ‘ho, ho, ho’ as he entered the Ritz?

Oh, so frustrating, name’s on the tip of my tongue…

Oh! Keir Starmer

John Thomson?

IfitsNotoverItsNottheEnd · 21/12/2024 17:40

@Mymanyellow @Rosscameasdoody Still alive. Snuffed it in style at a wedding in FWAAF

JazzyJelly · 21/12/2024 17:42

Michael Sheen? Not usually white haired but the new season of Good Omens starts soon, and he's white blond in that.

biscuitsandbooks · 21/12/2024 17:42

John Torode?

ohyesido · 21/12/2024 17:44

@TheYeaSayer why? It was brief and a pleasant interaction

MerryChristmasToYou · 21/12/2024 17:45

Jay Rayner is great on The Kitchen Cabinet.
John Torode's name makes me think of Turd. Sorry. He's nowhere near as vile as Boiled Gregg, but that's not saying much.
