Petplan Vet Dude

Is it just me or does the TV vet for Petplan look like he’s either had a rough night or is actually drunk still? He’s so dishevelled!

Noel?

He hasn't slept in about 10'000 years, functions on caffeine and alcohol and shouting at people.

Pontiouspilate · 31/07/2023 19:55

Hang on. Do you actually know him?

He has a TV series called The Supervet, @Pontiouspilate.

AndrexPuppy · 31/07/2023 20:00

He comes across as an absolute arsehole with a God complex.

Bremusa · 31/07/2023 20:04

I still can't get over that Britney Spears' song Toxic was written about him.

I work in veterinary and we are local (ish) and it's rumoured it's common knowledge that he likes a sniff of the ol' white stuff if you know what I mean. Most vets don't really like him and think he's arrogant. Also, rumours that he's "handsy" with staff.

He's also in a horror movie called Ghost Ship.

Why would Britney Spears know a vet from Surrey???😂😂

Noooooo. Stop it! I love Noel, please don't ruin it for me.

It's rumoured to be about him because the person who wrote it broke up with him the same year she wrote the song (I think)

The song writer, Cathy Dennis is his ex girlfriend

It was co-written by Cathy Dennis, who dated him around 2003.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 31/07/2023 20:36

He was in Ghost Ship??!!!

userxx · 31/07/2023 20:37

I loved her back in the day. How utterly random she dated Noel.

Are you Cathy Dennis ?

Whu · 31/07/2023 20:39

He’s a troubled man. He had an abusive childhood (talked about publicly) and has gone on to work himself to death to the exclusion of any normal
relationships/ friendships. He’s done a lot of good for animals but he’s not a happy man.

VeterinaryCareAssistant · 31/07/2023 20:40

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 31/07/2023 20:36

And in Heartbeat

Pontiouspilate · 31/07/2023 21:48

JHC I never knew my casual ponderings on a tv vet advert would lead to such a goldmine of scandal and celebrity intrigue!!!

tell me more about this (rumoured) coke addled, (rumoured) drunken, (confirmed) Cathy Dennis shagging animal healer

I also think it's very ironic that as the guy who pioneered prosthetic limbs for animals he then goes on to endorse Petplan pet insurance......which specifically excludes prosthetics!

1984Winston · 31/07/2023 22:27

I used to work in the veterinary field and I've heard he's an arse who sleeps with the locum nurses. He's very clever but he goes too far and gives people false hope. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should

WiddlinDiddlin · 31/07/2023 22:29

I know someone who worked for him plus a fair number of people involved in animal related telly programs.

I am definitely not his ex girlfriend.

I couldn't possibly comment on anyones use of the marching powder...

Jifmicroliquid · 31/07/2023 22:29

I knew Cathy Dennis wrote Toxic about him but I didn’t know he was in Ghost Ship!

This. He thinks he's god.

Radiodread · 31/07/2023 22:36

Wow. Fascinating! We are close by and my kids think he is great but I’ll never look at him the same way at a dog show again 😳

themidimit · 31/07/2023 22:37

His surgery saved my cat - had only just adopted him 2 months before he was at death's door. Was sent there by local vet who said he had one last chance (they were going to pull the plug. Now he's thriving terrrorising next door's dog. Whatever his personal life is, I'm thankful for his practice. And Petplan insurance helped!

AnnieSnap · 31/07/2023 22:41

My instinctive response to the advert is “don’t you have enough bloody money” from the excellent, but expensive veterinary practice, the multiple successful TV series and best selling books? 🤷‍♀️
