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!

I reckon Florence Pugh would be a fab friend, I'm a bit older than her but feel I would learn a lot from her.

I also think Robert Pattinson would be hilarious in the pub.

It’s so strange reading threads like this because I am actually good friends with a couple of people mentioned.

I’d really like to be friends with the Beckhams - just to get an insight but I genuinely believe that Vic and Dave are decent people!

Trevor Noah or Keke Palmer.

This thread is like an Alan Partridge phone-in on Mid-Morning Matters.

Yuk. Rank misogynist

Dilly Carter from Sort Your Life Out.
She’s so gorgeous. After everything she’s been through with her health and her mum, she’s such a trooper. I like her enormously.

Andi Oliver, Bob Mortimer, JK Rowling, Hannah Fry, Noel Fielding, Joanna Page

Miranda

0h, amd Jessie Buckley.

And Dolly

Bob Mortimer and Jordan Stephens.

Not sure if politicians count but if so, AOC ❤

Gary numan

Ha I think we may have to form a bit of a circle of friends if that’s ok as she is my pick too !

Sara Cox, I realise she’s an acquired taste but I think she’s hilarious. We have the same sense of humour and both love horses and dogs, so I think we’d get on like a house on fire. Also, we were pregnant with our eldest daughters at the same time, back in the early 00s, and I was relatively young at the time with no friends in a similar situation, so hearing her talk about her pregnancy on the R1 breakfast show on my drives to work was a bit like having a pregnancy buddy.

George Michael. I think he’d have been fun, interesting and thoughtful, challenging and kind.

Another vote for Dilly from sort your life out. I really love her.

also, an author called Olivia Laing, although she is much much much more clever than me! I would have to pull my intellectual socks up but she would be great in a very different way
