What do you think about him?

I hear he leaves hair in the shower plug.

IfYouPutASausageInItItsNotAViennetta · 12/06/2025 11:09

I heard that he once hid behind a fence for 4 hours under the cover of darkness, so that he could steal Dale Winton's washing.

He also pushed one of his garden gnomes into the pond and stood in its stead himself with a fishing rod.

We used to live in the same area of London as them and would see them about. Both seem very pleasant people, appear to be happy. SEB is absolutely radiant in real life and very tall. Always looked happy, even when just walking down the road. In comparison, Colin Firth who also lived in the area always looked like he wanted to be invisible. Probably didn’t help when the local church put a big cardboard cut out of him outside during the local fete 😁

Nothing.
Didn't even know she was married.

I don't know, but I do know how I feel about various cheeses, if it's ok to open this thread up a little - don't want to derail.

I don't think anything about him cos I don't know who her husband is!

Same here. What an odd thread. 😕

the80sweregreat · 12/06/2025 11:15

I saw her once on an airplane and she is so slim and pretty, striking eyes.
I don’t often see any celebs around , so it was a bit of a double take from me!

Navigatinglife100 · 12/06/2025 11:15

Isn't he a lead singer in The Feeling? Apart from that I think and know nothing.

DisapprovingSpaniel · 12/06/2025 11:17

While we're at it - the lady down the road from me with red front door. What do we think about her husband?

He’s the guitarist. Ironically if she was married to the lead singer, that would make a genuinely interesting thread, as he’s gay.

Handsduo · 12/06/2025 11:19

About the same as the neighbour 3 streets over who looks shifty when putting the bins out, the way he let's his pets boss him around makes me think he is a pencil short of a pencil case

JustSawJohnny · 12/06/2025 11:19

Only came here because I assumed there must be something interesting going on there.

Nope.

Regretting being sucked in enough to Google who her husband is and somewhat hating on myself for further searching his band and then, alas, their songs because, well, feck me it's a load of old shite!

Lesson learned.

Scorchio84 · 12/06/2025 11:20

I'm even boring myself by how many times I've said it & it's been said by others but fuck me I miss the laughter reaction

So many funny remarks on this bonkers thread 😂

wandererofthekingdom · 12/06/2025 11:20

He's clearly fertile, and he plays music, not sure there is anything else I could say about him!

MixedFeelingsNoFeelings · 12/06/2025 11:20

I didn't know he spelt his surname with an O. Bextor. But makes sense when you think about it.

MysteriousUsername · 12/06/2025 11:21

I’ve met him a couple of times, after The Feeling have played. He seems nice, as they all were. Obviously I’m not going to get a lot out of a couple of minutes of interaction. He could be an absolute shit husband, he could be a perfect husband. Realistically he’s probably a normal human being with good and bad parts.
I have 5 boys like them. It’s crazy fun.

Typical me. I get half a story right.

It's lovely to hear she is still married. I hope happily.

MadisonAvenue · 12/06/2025 11:25

Met him once after a gig that The Feeling played in a very small venue, seemed a nice enough fella.

Lakeyloo · 12/06/2025 11:26

I think this may be Richard and not Sophie......New album coming out ? Trying to increase his Google search count ? Fed up with his wife being much better known than he is ? 🤔

3luckystars · 12/06/2025 11:26

Until this very moment, I have never thought about him ever in my life.

You must be new to MN.

Otherwise you would know very well the unspoken understanding that we never mention either of them anymore.

This thread is reminding me of the piece that Dave Gorman did on his show about Wikihow - where people asked (and sometimes received answers to!) random questions like "How can I act like a mermaid at school?"

Oh I need to see that!

I loved his jigsaw piece.

Not since the incident with the ice cream van and the plunger.

IfYouPutASausageInItItsNotAViennetta · 12/06/2025 11:30

Was her song Young Blood just a beautiful romantic song about grasping hold of what truly matters in your lives whilst you can... or was it a hidden-in-plain-sight admission of her fancying another popular singer rotten and wanting to take things further?

RedRoss86 · 12/06/2025 11:31

Can't say I know him personally.
