Sophie Ellis Bextor's husband

[HelloDenise]

What do you think about him?

Brilliant brilliant thread. Thank you MN for making me snort with laughter.

He's OK, but his Missus is a real wrong 'un - I wouldn't go anywhere near her, if I were you.

My husband says he thinks the husband of the lady down the road from you with the red front door is probably some sort of spy. He’s always down the Coach & Horses banging on about women with names that sound like double entendres and trying to show people how to spin around dramatically while holding their fingers in the shape of a gun…

I do know a SEB. He even writes it in capitals. He's an influencer and I'm too old to understand that shouting his name is a brand apparently.

I'm loving the idea of Sophie herself stumbling across this thread, gathering all of the shocking 'evidence' against him detailed on here and then confronting him with it tonight after the children have gone to bed!

You couldn't handle the truth...

Does he drive a SEAT and own a SEBO vacuum cleaner?

Yeah. I can totally imagine feeling insecure in his shoes. "My stunning wife is doing this incredible thing and I'm so pleased for her but she's had this incredible new lease of life - I'm worried it will wake her up to better and new things than me, a bassist for some irrelevant band, stuck at home with the kids and not feeling like I have much to offer".

I think it's unfair to call him controlling for feeling that way. Especially if he had counselling to deal with it.

Controlling would be refusing to let her take part. Given she wrote about it, I doubt it was too traumatising for her.

Caveat - I've not read the book!

😮At him pooing in the workplace toilets

To be honest, I don't know why they don't just have single celebs and professionals only on Strictly and treat it like a dating show - with the dancing just being there as a bit of a filler.

I hear he uses a toilet brush then pops it in the dish washer.

He's a bassist?🤯🤯🤯

And he eats an entire chicken for just one meal.

I agree with his opinion that the pink Mr Kipling's French Fancies are the best ones, but his band's cover of Phoebe Buffay's "Smelly Cat" is shit.

I don't like the way the red door couple shove the fact that they are swingers in people's faces. Fine for them to get up to whatever behind closed doors but to have a pineapple shaped door knocker AND pampas grass is just flaunting it, it shouldn't be allowed.

Hello Denise, you might need to give us more than this. I don't tend to think about Sophie Ellis Bextor, never thought about her husband till now. Don't even know who he is.

his band's cover of Phoebe Buffay's "Smelly Cat" is shit.

I agree, BUT have you listened to their unfathomably brilliant extended orchestral interpretation of 'Autoglass Repair, Autoglass Replace' on the B-side?

Long after Mozart, The Beatles and Rick Astley have been forgotten, that song will live on immortally.

I read that in the voice of Les Dawson from that old Post Office advert!

Also if he did indeed have counselling about his negative feelings surely that is a good thing as opposed to storming off in a huff or taking it out on his wife.

He's the lead singer from a band called The Feeling who sung the Fill My Little World song that was used for promotional content by U.K.T.V. G.O.L.D. He's very handsome but probably getting on a bit now.

His mother is a retired nurse who lost one of her fingers in an accident!

Which finger?

maybe someone needed some clicks to make them more relevant

Whaaat?! Who looks after the kids?

I didn't leap to jealousy. I did say what do I know? As others have pointed out Sophie wrote about it in her book. You can google it to find out what she said about it. And I'm sure there are times when he has been working away and left Sophie with the 5 kids so it's swings and roundabouts.

Two nannies apparently.

He has a guitar that looks like the millennium falcon that’s very cool and they seem in love from the only thing I’ve ever seen so I have no clue!
