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!

Yes, very interesting - especially the mention of Stephen Fry-massive misogynist

James Norton 😄

Also met Emma Thompson she’s lovely

Well they’re hardly likely to be offended are they @WhereTheHellAreMyGlasses 😕

I mean I’m not saying which celebrities they are, not which posters picked them!

Greg James

Huh? You said that you can confirm the celebrities in question are lovely.
why would the celebrity be offended?

Nuala McGovern
JKR
Isabelle Allende

Bob Mortimer

Yes! I don’t watch her show but I don’t need to, to know she’d be a great friend.

Lucky you! I think she was amazing and she died way to young 😔

Zoe Ball
Jo Whiley
Sarah Beeney

Sigh.

I don’t think anyone would be offended, either way round.

But I don’t publicise the people I get access to as it’s to do with my work, and people can get really strange and make weird requests, and I even had someone borderline stalking me when she found out I was going to be in contact with someone of whom she was a huge fan.

Hence my saying, rather tongue in cheek, that I’m not confirming who I am referring to.

I think the young people would say ‘it’s not that deep’.

Sure

sigh

Diane Morgan - love her.

Tell us more @MudRitual? I’d be really curious about what it was like to meet her in person.

Mine is Kate Middleton. I’m discreet so I could be a good friend to her, and I’d be curious to know what she’s actually like behind closed doors. Although it must be very difficult for her to trust anyone enough to really make a new friend.

JK Rowling
Kathy Burke
Beth Rigby

Rylan

Yep. JKR 💯🫶

A friend of mine had been one of her students on the UAE MA, and took me with her to a party at her house in Clapham. It must have been 1990 or 91. Witchy and majestic. Talked a lot about gardening!

I don’t know if they’re ’celebrities’ as such but the female historians, Lucy Worsley, Suzannah Lipscomb, Kate Lister, Hallie Rubenhold etc. I hated history at school but have discovered a love for it in later life, largely down to hearing it told by Women who make it interesting and relatable.

Also as a PP mentioned, Josh Widdicombe for all the 90s nostalgia, his new podcast is excellent.

If we’re talking big Hollywood then I think Jennifer Lawrence would be a great night out.

Alan Carr

Hannah Fry. Hilarious, smart, enthusiastic, nice house, a bit naughty.
