sigh...I always thought he was the one for me!! sobs

This is a truly weird story isn't it? But good luck to 'em. Maybe we should send an MN fanclub bouquet.

He was mine .

lol at the Mail's coverage. 'Konnie Huq was educated at Cambridge while the smutty TV host dropped out of poly.' Call the cops!

Really?! Wow. That is not a pairing I would have guessed at. This isn't a Dale Winton marries Nell McAndrew stunt, is it?

Wow.

Didn't see that coming!

Can't imagine him marrying someone who's working on a x-factor show tbh? But yes, heartbroken also if its true!

OMG I never knew about this... how long has this been going on?

This morning was the first time in ages that my celebrity journalist DH told me something I found interesting (this!).

Don't be too sad MNers. DH's friend used to go out with Charlie Brooker and she said he just wanted to play computer games all day long.

I'm glad they're getting married - I'll look forward to his take on raising a baby in a few years.

Noooooo - that is one of the wierdest things I have ever heard.

Mind you - she's gorgeous and clearly cleverer and presumably funnier than Blue Peter ever allowed her to be. Must be funny because CB makes me snort with laughter.

I heart Charlie Brooker, especially his Screen Burn column. He will eat Konnie Huq for breakfast, surely. She's just so ... nice.

Don't you all remember when she was on his programme, something about weeing herself? Or something. Men weeing on a hill? I vaguely recall... Hmm.

Oooh yes, Charlie on Dadsnet. Bring it on!

Didn't she use to go out with Richard Bacon?

Well CB did start out as a Computer Games journalist.

How odd. And slightly disappointing - CB's persona as a sad bloke who couldn't possibly get a girlfriend is quite convincing.

Also sad that a bloke who you wouldn't have thought had it in him has gone for a stereotypically pretty celebby girlfriend.

yes - I remember her on that episode.
they made her use a she-wee didn't they?

I presumed he was gay

I think it's a good match - she's not your standard empty-headed pretty sleb. He's done well - especially given that he dropped out of Poly .

Hehehehe, it's trending on Twitter.

Apparently this is how they met

how funny. i do wonder why she hasn't intervened in his 'curled turd on head' hairstyle, though. he clearly wears the trousers.

Stereotypically pretty celebby girlfriend?

Not sure that's really fair.... Konnie is clearly a bright girl, and is not a blonde bimbo!

aww, what an unusually lovely celeb story!

I'm disappointed in you Charlie. We had an understanding. Well, we all need our wild and ill-advised diversions. I'll be waiting for you when you see sense and come back.

In the meantime, David Mitchell is my favourite. You've got a lot of work to do making that back up sonny jim.

Why did people think CB was gay?
