You’re on your work friend’s hen. Turns out her cousin/auntie/pal from uni is a celeb you’ve always liked and thought would be good value on a night out. Who is it?

I’m going with Sharon Horgan. Partly influenced by her characters, admittedly, but she’d hopefully also lend me something cracking to wear.

If it were Alison you could watch the film “Doubt”

Sorry if I'm being dim but I've just read up on that film, which looks great btw, but I can't see the connection to Alison Steadman.

Not in her Lady Whiteadder guise, I presume? 😄

Rachel Shenton.

I’m 55 and happily married (to a man) but I have such a crush on her.

Not sure if this has been said as I’m still reading through the thread, but apart from Sharon Horgan who is an excellent choice, I’d love to bump into Anna Farris on a night out!

BeaLola · 06/08/2026 00:51

Oblahdeeoblahdieit was a reference to the Gavin & Stacey episode - I think it’s the Pete & Dawn vow renewal where the night before they have a night in and watch films and there a classic Pam (Alison Sreadnan) moment ref that film

Jo Whiley. I LOVE her.

Jennifer Lawrence

I'd love to add mine, but have to admit that I've never heard of most of these women. Didn't realise that I was so out of touch 🫣

I think I'd choose Cameron Diaz' character in pretty much any of her comedy films

Betty White if I can hang with the dead.

Diane Morgan, definitely!

And Shelagh Fogerty - I suspect she's got a wicked sense of humour.

CamillaMcCauley · 06/08/2026 03:59

Rose Byrne. I think she is hilarious. I met her brother at a party once and was desperately hoping he and I would fall in love so that she and I could be sister-in-laws but sadly it was not to be.

Also this exact hen do situation did happen to me in real life and the person was Michelle Monaghan and she was extremely fun,

Fellow Joan Ranger here. The comments would be outrageous.

Edited

I’ve met Shelagh back in the day. What a fantastic lady. Really bright and spot-on.
