Forgotten Celebrity romances?

I was just thinking about this the other day about how I distinctly remember that Kelly MacDonald used to go out with the late Sean Hughes in the mid to late 90's and I remember a story in the press when Kelly broke up with him because of his drinking but their is nothing about that anywhere online now. Also the comedian Ed Byrne dating EastEnders actress Letitia Dean although I think their is still some trace of that online.

Anyone remember these or remember any others?

@mangoglow apparently according to Google, there’s no evidence they ever dated - it’s was a misconception from something that started as a tweet apparently - so there!

Well I've seen him live about 6 times a he's spoke about it a couple of times in his show. They didn't date for long though a few weeks but it did happen, it was in 2001. He was talking about it way before twitter was even a thing so I think you are wrong there.

There is no trace of Sean Hughes and Kelly Mac though so perhaps that was a fever dream however I do distinctly remember that because I fancied Sean Hughes and thought Kelly was so beautiful and she was Glaswegian like me so I was rooting for them!

I can't remember her name but the actress who played Kate in The Windsors left James Acaster for Rowan Atkinson!

Yes! Louise Ford, I think there's a 28 year age gap? They have a daughter.
She's a very good Kate 😊!

@KiIIingMeDeftly I remember that too, he did a live show I saw about that, it was excellent but I think it really messed the poor guy up at the time. He also dated Rose Matafeo for a while.

Not sure Britney and Justin quite qualify as "forgotten". Who could forget their iconic double denim look??

Not remotely 'forgotten', it's probably her most famous relationship.

When Ulrika Jonsson presented a bachelor like dating show and ended up marrying the guy herself instead of him getting together with any of the contestants on it. I think it was called Mr Right (or maybe Wright as I’m sure that was his surname).
