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.

Loving the love for Liza Tarbuck on this thread.
Lots of good shouts on here, and a fair few WTFs - some are what I would consider personality voids.

@DetailRedacted …unless you don’t believe Palestinians deserve human rights I’d be leaving her her out of the group hen chat. 😬

You don’t need to bring palestine into every topic.

This actually happened to me about 20 or so years ago.

She turned up on a friends hen do. ( not far from where she lives )

She was quite reserved , but still gloriously funny , in a rather quiet way as opposed to rocking life and soul.

We danced in the living room of the rented house to that Bananarma song.

Diane Morgan, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sara Cox, Miriam Margolyes, Julie Walters and Kate Winslet. They are all hilarious. What a great party it would be

Katherine Parkinson, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Nicola Coughlan or Miranda Hart.

A friend of DH's was in this scenario years ago and it was Prince William!

theturtleswims · 05/08/2026 23:11

Another vote for Victoria Coren Mitchell. I love her!

How did he behave?

Genuinely did not expect this to confuse anyone who thought it was a guessing game rather than a fun hypothetical!

Claudia Winkleman. She’d be an absolute hoot.

friedaklein · 05/08/2026 23:18

Oh yes Claudia W.

Queen Camilla. A couple of gin and tonics, she'll share some racy gossip.

My first thought, maybe Anne as well, they have a few shared memories!

BagsyTimBradford · 05/08/2026 23:24

Ruth Langsford, I think she'd be fun and kind irl.

As we’re in fantasy land, can I take Princess Diana? I have many questions.

I'm being really dim. Is this a hypothetical question? Or is this happening ?

It’s happening. Put your vote in and I’ll have them shipped over on Friday.

I’m getting Dolly Parton
