What do you think about him?

NotDarkGothicMama · 12/06/2025 11:32

I don't know who he is but he's probably a wrong'un. LTB Sophie, you can do better.

I looked him up. He needed counselling while Sophie was in Strictly. He's a bass player in her band and other bands. That's about it. Maybe the counselling is a bit of a red flag for control?

Yes, I read ages ago that he found it difficult when she was on Strictly. Sounded jealous and insecure to me but hey ho what do I know.

Oh I need to see that!

I loved his jigsaw piece.

I used to live down the road from a Dave Gorman, can't remember what number Dave Gorman he was though.

I watched the kitchen discos in lockdown and he seemed like fun. I've seen his band live a couple of times and like the music.

I did read her autobiography and he came across as being very needy/jealous over the Strictly stuff. I've never watched Strictly so don't know what the fuss was about.

didn't even know she had one

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

Pure filth.

the80sweregreat · 12/06/2025 11:57

SEB was partnered with Brendon Cole and I do believe he had a bit of a reputation of being a bit of a ‘ladies man. ‘

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 😂

I was guilty of misusing it a couple of times, and now wish I hadn't. Any post on this thread that gets a heart from me is really a snort of laughter - the heart's for cheering up my day.

It's here - the Wikihow bit is from 5:36 to 11:42.

However, I would strongly recommend watching the whole programme; indeed every programme in all of the series!

PlumpAndDeliciousFatcat · 12/06/2025 12:03

I saw him with the devil. It might have been Goody Proctor though - I wasn't wearing my glasses.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 12/06/2025 12:06

He’s wanted because he knows something about a murder on the dancefloor

IfYouPutASausageInItItsNotAViennetta · 12/06/2025 12:09

And he deliberately wears a tie like Richard Gere. Deceptively impersonating another person for fraudulent purposes is very illegal.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 12/06/2025 12:09

What a weird OP.

I don't think about him but since you ask, I think the music his band (The Feeling) makes is boring. He seems to be a part of a happy, stable family and had a long successful marriage, which can't be easy when both partners are in the music business.

Or maybe he was dealing with 5 kids on his own for much of the time? Why leap to jealousy?

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

No, that's the woman with the yellow door.

Red door lady is the one with the toilet brush and chicken stock.

Delphiniumandlupins · 12/06/2025 12:13

My husband. What do you think of him?

Twoshoesnewshoes · 12/06/2025 12:13

This beautifully demonstrates the stupidity and pointlessness of the original question!

myplace · 12/06/2025 12:14

Having counselling when your wife is spending hours a day training with Brendan Cole is really sensible, imo. I would find it hard to train the way they do- so intimate. Let alone watching my spouse do it!

AbleMind · 12/06/2025 12:16

Well this has cheered me up no end

Oh so this is why we can't have nice things 😂😂Besides how do you misuse an emoji? It's bullshit! I'm going to use the Heart Emoji like that now thanks!

Has MN said why it's been removed ? I miss it too .

IfYouPutASausageInItItsNotAViennetta · 12/06/2025 12:20

Worrying sheep, scrumping apples, swapping differently-sized eggs in the labelled boxes at supermarkets so that people's cake recipes will fail, eating pudding before the main course, having a poo in the workplace toilets, hiding behind speak-your-weight machines and calling out alarmingly high numbers, inserting an 'i' with a marker pen every time he sees a 'to let' sign, phoning BT to ask if the operator is on the line and then telling him/her to get off quickly because there's a train coming, putting whoopee cushions under his colleague's chair cushions at business meetings, rustling sweet wrappers at the cinema, farting loudly and blaming it on the dog... is there no end to this terrible bounder's truly serious crimes?

People were using it to mock.

ohyesido · 12/06/2025 12:22

He’s in a fairly decent band and stood by her after they conceived a child from a very short relationship, 12 weeks after they got together I think? They seem to have made a go of it
