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

@TheYeaSayer why? It was brief and a pleasant interaction

A stranger buying you a drink and telling you you’re pretty sounds like he’s a slimeball trying to pick you up.

But anyway, I hope that after finding out he’s a violent drunk and a stalker you don’t still want to maintain he’s a good guy?

Ken Stott?

Surely he's much older than late 50s.

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall

Josh Widdicombe late 50s, grey hair, rotund?!?

ohyesido · 21/12/2024 17:53

@TheYeaSayer I didn't have that experience he was pleasant and well mannered in the brief interaction I had

Graham Norton?

Graham fu**ing Norton!!!! Not British, not Rotund and does not have curly hair. I reckon it was Alex Politizi (the hotel inspector).

SulkySeagull · 21/12/2024 17:55

@MerryChristmasToYou how does Graham Norton fit the description AT ALL 😂

MerryChristmasToYou · 21/12/2024 17:56

Alex Polizzi isn't rotund and isn't a man.

@SulkySeagull , knowing these sort of threads, it could be him.

Mackemlass79 · 21/12/2024 17:57

I would say Michael Ball but for the fact I dont think he is grey

unconditionalpurelove · 21/12/2024 17:58

Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall?

coloursquare · 21/12/2024 17:58

Michael Ball isn't grey

MinkaLeDinka · 21/12/2024 17:59

I was going to suggest Colin Baker (Dr Who) but on googling him he’s 86 !

I must be old too 😂

XmasElfOnTheShelff · 21/12/2024 18:00

Josh Widdicombe? 😱This 41yr old, slim, blonde comedian would be thrilled! 😂

Paul Bradley

Rory McGrath he's a decent guy

Is he?Alcohol problems, cheated on his wife for years, stalked his ex-lover when she dumped him and done for that plus assault,
