Which celebrity would you like as a close friend?

[PurpleDisco]

Mine would be Ben Fogle. I love his series BF New lives in the wild. He comes across as such a caring, compassionate and down to earth person. He’s a great listener and loves to hear real people’s life stories. He also looks like he gives great hugs!

J K Rowling

Davina McCall

Ruth Jones

Amy Gledhill

Joe Wilkinson

Josh Widdicombe. We are both shameless 90s nostalgic's, so would be guaranteed hours of conversation!

How many celebrities are brave enough to openly say they are GC? So openly GC celebrities are not likely to crop up much in a thread which is about literally any celebrity.

Claudia Winkleman
Michael McIntyre

Me too.

How do you know? They might be. Besides, there is a lot more to JK than being ‘just’ gender critical.

I’d like her, and I’d also like Eddie Izzard (yes, I appreciate that this is hard to square in some people’s heads). In spite of their differences, they are both smart as hell, eloquent, compassionate, and I’d like to hang out with them. Maybe not at the same time, but it’s important to me that my friends don’t necessarily all have exactly the same beliefs or attitudes as me.

Pete Wicks. Because I also prefer dogs to people.

Richard Osman

Chrissie Hynde would be fun.

Victoria Beckham, I like her humour.

Victoria Coren Mitchell

Sara CoX
Zoe Ball
Lauren Laverne

My kids played Uno once with Sara Cox’s kids at Camp Bestival and I was soooo restrained not to turn around and tell her how much I admire her.

Also Jo Brand. Even when she’s a bit mean.

Boy George

Bettany Hughes
Lucy Worsley
Susan Calman
Al Murray.

I just asked my DH and he said James May. Weirdo.

Another one for Alan Carr. I bloody love him he’s fabulous.
