I felt a bit sorry for Richard Madeley over the shop lifting claims as at the time Waitrose had a separate part to pay for the wine and spirts and I genuinely think it was an honest mistake on his part. I can remember him apologizing and it didn’t seem to ruin his career that much. I am definitely not condoning shop lifting , not at all , but I do feel that people make mistakes and it was just one of those things that happen and wasn’t intentional.

I'm pretty sure it happened in Tesco. I did actually see Madeley in a nearby Sainsbury's not long afterwards.

He seems like he would be easy to get on with though? Whenever they’ve done Loose men or he’s presented This morning, he seems to be easy to get on

I don't understand why people still draw conclusions about someone's character based on the way they behave on TV or in a public arena.

Haven't we been through enough public scandals to know that people put on a certain 'face' for TV. He probably is 'easy to get on with' if he's been commissioned to do a TV show. As have been thousands of professional sleazes and perverts over the years.

TV isn't real!

According to the DM, they've been living separate lives for ages, and apparently had champagne to toast the end of the marriage

I have wondered if these guys are having a mid-life crisis?

Paddy McGuiness
Vernon Kaye
Orlando Bloom
Leonardo DiCaprio

🤣 DiCaprio has been having his for 20 years at least

I can’t help but feel that Tess is still in a rage quite right too that news of Vernon cheating broke just as she was trying to sell her new book. I think seeing her trying to flog it on the one show, I could feel her quietly seething about her husband while answering questions about her marriage through gritted teeth

Edited

And it wasn't just her book! To tie-in with the book she'd collaborated with Marks & Spencer on a 'lifestyle & home' range of products too. I think my friend was on the PR team for it? They had to cancel the launch and everything.

Oh wow

A lot of men get jealous when their wife does well, I bet he secretly loved that he ruined her project

Anthony Worrall Thompson was on the rob in Tesco. Must have been quite the TV luvvie convention.

I have since read rumours that the "famous woman and sportsman" story is actually about a certain woman who is high up in the business world, and recently left her day job. She wasn't fired, though...

I'm surprised you can still recognise her.

Ooh, where did u see this? Love a bit of celeb gossip

You really need to read the Secret Celeb Gossip threads on Tattle. You get it all on there. I've gone through this thread thinking 'how did you not know that' several times 😆.

Yes. I knew about Phillip Schofield from Tattle about a year before the story broke. I knew about Huw Edwards from there too. Very useful site. 😆
