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?

David Bowie and Lulu

Apparently this is true, but I just can’t get my head round it. They are so different!
Later, Iman was perfect for Bowie.

Patsy Kensit and Nick Hayward.
Jerry Hall is in Bryan Ferry’s “Let’s Stick Together” video. I don’t think she was 19. I think She left Bryan for Mick Jagger. Ended up with Rupert Murdoch 😱

Not exactly “ended up” - they’re divorced!

Easther Bennett (Eternal) and Shane Lynch (Boyzone).

Didn't they rekindle that recently?

I don't think so, he's married to Sheena White and they're Pentacostal Christians.

"Dame Maggie Smith and Keith Chegwin"

No you're getting him confused with Keith Harris. Dame Maggie was in love with him but hated Orville - Orville was too clever for her and contrived to split them up.

Teehee

It came out in his court case that they dated when she was 17 apparently.

That was so utterly random that I always thought it was made up until their wedding photos appeared in Hello magazine. Pretty sure that was the only time I saw them pictured together.

Was Roman not linked with the other sister at the same time?

fuzzyfeltfan · 30/06/2025 00:16

It's probably already been posted on here but incase not Taylor swift and Matty Healy.

Amanda Holden and Les Dennis

Oh yes ! I used to see them out together, running. Then she ran off …with that tall dark bloke whose name I have forgotten, from Men Behaving Badly.
