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?

To continue the Kelly Brook theme:
.. And Danny Cipriani

She was recently talking about a Toxic Ex being so good in bed and I wondered which celeb it was.. My money's on Zane 😎

I remember when Cerys Matthews had a short-lived fling with the fellow from East Enders after they’d been on I’m A Celebrity…

The long lasting effects of that was every woman in the country adopting Don't Stop Me Now as a karaoke song.

Gianni Di Marco was the character, he left his long term girlfriend for her. Quite the scandal back in the day.

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

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.

Jamie Dornan and Kiera Knightley

My sister and I sat next to them in a Wagamama. I was next to Keira and facing Jamie but can’t remember what he looked like because she was so much more famous and I was trying to subtly turn round and gawp at her.

No, You Oughta Know was released long before she and Ryan got together. The story has always been that it was based on Dave Coulier, aka Joey from Full House!
