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

He did have a few Kathys 🤔

I might be onto something here. He was rotund too.

Jon Sessions?

I've read the whole thread and got to the penultimate page because that was my first thought and I didn't want to repeat a guess.

A lot of those people mentioned are much older than 50s! Mind you MPW must be 60s.

I meant to quote the poster who suggested Marco Pierre White.

He's been dead over ten years!

To be fair he's not the only potential ghost on here!

Older than 50s? Most are dead!

Marco Pierre White is all I can see with h your description

Appleberrybloom · 21/12/2024 20:10

There is a tv auctioneer that fits this description on shows like Bargain Hunt but his name escapes me and google not helping .

BitchinTwinset · 21/12/2024 20:13

TriptoTipp · 21/12/2024 20:15

You said you saw him at The Ritz - but then mentioned The Savoy?

Pinkbonbon · 21/12/2024 20:17

Simon Farnaby

Has curly grey hair, lives in London I think, somewhere around age 60.
