You know that rumour about Valerie Singleton ...... turns out she's an absolulte

[suzywong]

FOX!!

You go our Val! I had to google said Blue Peter VIP as ozzie news is only obsessed with home grown sports stars behaving badly. So, I tittered a little when I saw that she may have been more than friends with Purves - what about poor old Noaksie though? Thought he alwyas looked a little hard done by. Maybe that explains his relationship with Shep...

she went to the same school as my mum (Virgo Fidelis) !!

i always thought she went out with joan armatrading.

I love the quote about showing the man "London".
Purves was "between" marriages eh, you little minx...

Hifi, I thought she lived with her!

i wonder if selina scott will come out with the same memoirs?

Interesting article and a bit sad too.

Looks smashing for 71!!

Keep it up Val!

Wow! So she wasn't the squeaky clean Valerie will all thought she was. I'm a little disappointed - I always wished she was my mum!!

The most shocking bit I think is snubbing someone who came up to talk to her because she was obviously upset by the lesbian affair with her story. What disappoints me is that normally I'd find someone more likeable after reading such stories about them, and I just don't like what comes across there at all.

wasn't Joan Armatrading with the tennis player- Virginia Wade? Or am i way off?

She doesn't come across well at all tbh. I think Pruners is right & it's the way it's written.

Product of her times, I suppose - not an age when you laughed off/were flattered by suggestions of a lesbian relationship.

lol at "He was quite boisterous but we didn?t make love ? we just kissed passionately while rolling from side to side."

Impressed her dad is still alive whilst she is 71

I can't believe she's 71, she's part of my childhood. She looks great on it. Maybe no children is the secret of youth...

71!

DP made a total arse of himself at the weekend by claiming to all his mates that Valerie Singleton was Sophie Ellis Bextor's mum.

None of his mates could convince him he was wrong - then he came home to me to slag them all off for their ignorance ... I put him right, gently of course.

I'm not sure I'm 100% comfortable reading about Val's sexual conquests....
