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?

Considering Bo was previously married to someone 30-odd years older than her who clearly groomed her as a teenager, I think good on her for finding love with a younger man!

I can see why Jerry Ferry would have been problematic

"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.

Was she okay with Cuddles the Monkey ?

I didn;t mind Cuddles but I don't think Orville had the brains to plot against anyone

Yeah…feel bad for her, really. There’s nightmare exes, and there’s…that.

Waitingfordoggo · 28/06/2025 23:03

I was reminded the other day that Eddie Murphy and Mel B had a baby together- I had completely forgotten; so much so that I momentarily thought it was a weird joke when I saw it mentioned. Blew my mind just as much the second time of learning it as it did the first time 😂

Oh, and Steve Coogan and Courtney Love.

Patsy Kensit and Jim Kerr.
