Minor celebs wife being rude in pub

Went to a country pub yesterday with my partner. Nice little place in the Surrey countryside, part of a chain, not fine dining. Very busy as the weather was really good, some stressed looking teenage girls trying to serve everyone. Kids play area in the garden and a bar in the garden area for drinks. We were sat on the patio attached to the restaurant.

A minor TV celeb, his wife, and another couple were sat across from us. The wife of the minor celeb complained a few times (that I heard).

First time: That one of the starters came out fractionally behind one of the others. (It was busy, there were four of them, the waitress can only carry two plates?!)

Second time: that the prawns in their prawn cocktail were inedible. (To be fair, I'd let this complaint slide as I didn't eat the prawn cocktail. It could have been bad). The waitress apologised and had a new dish made for them.

Third time: and this is the one that got me. The mains came, and the waitress went to put the plates down. The wife of the celeb laughed and stopped the waitress, and told her that "you don't serve plates from that side" aka the waitress was stood on the wrong side of her putting her plate down. She made the waitress go round the other side and put her plate down. This wasn't a silver service Michelin starred restaurant where you might expect such things. Just a standard pub.

So my (lighthearted) AIBU - do I sell this story to the Daily Mail and name and shame?

She sounds like an entitled pr!ck. Sell and tell all.

What name?

You are both as horrible as each other then. Those are real people you know.

Yes. I know that. At 10.53 yesterday morning. Followed by 12 pages of discussing the person and his wife in immense detail, complete with links and photos.

I was going to point that out to the lazy fucker person who had come to a 14- page thread and not even bothered to read the op's posts.

Absolutely!

This was meant to be to @Lullaby1973

Did you get pictures. My DD was in a restaurant last year, and sent me a photo of a celebrity and her ex looking cozy. I told her to contact the sun newspaper. They bought her pictures and she got 400 pounds.

Angela Rayner?
Then again, she would have just skipped the food part of the pub lunch...

The person was named on page 3 of this thread, by the op, and on every subsequent page.

Ah ok

nonheme · 05/09/2023 13:42

I wouldn't get involved but yes she sounds like a right tool

LouHey · 05/09/2023 13:45

Bradley Walsh is probably an A list celebrity (here in the UK at least). He would be known internationally by Dr Who fans too. I googled what categorises it and he seems to qualify. I think your story might be worth up to £500 on a slow news day. More if it was him being the twat. I think he has enough trouble being married to someone so horrid, I'd leave him be (but I'd be gossiping about it too lol).

Newbymum23 · 05/09/2023 13:51

Ahhh I now see who it is by reading comments.... even still... this did make me giggle! The poor waitress must have been so embarrassed and yet puzzled by why she was made to do the last one. The first is instance of 2 plates coming out straight away and not four is ridiculous when, as you say the waitress had two hands and it was a chain pub. It take training and practice to balance plates on arms if that's what this celebs wife was expecting.

The third instance is what made me lol 😆, I've worked in a chain hotel serving celebs and not once did the do anything like that, they were courteous even friendly. I say name an shame, show her up and she may well think twice in the future. I hope the waitress wasn't too green that she was put off working because waiting can be fun and does wonders for social skills.

This doesn’t surprise me, as Bradley Walsh is actually a bit of an arse in real life too!

I met him and he was lovely!

But then the woman does have to go to bed with someone like this so she is paying for her horribleness

They are both in their 60s! Mean thing to say

bruffin · Today 13:58

They are both in their 60s but she looks is much better shape than he does.
I am not saying that being beautiful on the outside in any way equates with being beautiful on the inside. That was kind of my point.

Canthave2manycats · 05/09/2023 14:10

@cattreatsanddragrace your DP must be very boring if you had to sit eavesdropping and now gossiping.

RubiRage · 05/09/2023 14:39

Why would you want to give her publicity? This can only encourage her to treat more people like they’re cunts, when in reality she’s the cunt.

BishyBarnyBee · 05/09/2023 14:41

millymog11 · 05/09/2023 13:36

I mean being rude and patronising to service staff is the first sign of narsassism.

This is a new low on an already shitty thread.

It sounds like you were a bit 'star-struck' to notice it was Bradley Walsh - who is a very local boy with his family and then to monitor what his partner was saying/doing. I don't believe for one second she behaved like you described but, also why were you listening and not just enjoying your own Toby Carvery!!!

Exactly, absolute bull crack.

I always find it hilarious when celebrities/their spouses get up themselves. It’s bad enough when genuinely important people do it - ie. high ranking politicians or Fortune 500 ceos. But to think you’re special or important because you presented a few crappy TV game shows or you kick a football around for a living etc is weird.
