I think it is all a wind up. We will see the outcome on the next series of Screenwipe, you mark my words.

HurleySatOnMe · 10/06/2010 14:51

Didn't Konnie Huq go out with Richard Bacon for a time though? Or am I makign that up? So she's hardly wholesome is she? Blue Peter presenters have sex too, you know

mayorquimby · 10/06/2010 15:28

"Former Blue Peter presenter Huq - the new host of The Xtra Factor - has been dating Brooker, 39, for several months"

Surely that's his credibility for screenwipe and the tv panel/quiz show screwed. Can't really call everyone involved in x-factor/BB/any other reality show morons and then marry one of them.

I don't get his appeal as a sex symbol at all. He's funny to read but to look at? He's got a funny, slightly shrill/high, voice as well.

Agree with BallonSlayer.

I love his columns and programmes, but I'm not sure I'd want to live with him. The relentless misanthropy that's so entertaining on the box/on the Guardian would get quite wearing day in day out, I reckon. Hope she is the resilient type!

MarineIguana · 10/06/2010 17:40

But I mentioned Rushdie because he's famous for pulling hot chicks.

WhatWouldMadonnaDo · 10/06/2010 17:56

It's just wrong on so many levels.

Getting engaged is far too optimistic. Next thing he'll be pictured smiling and cuddling puppies...

AnyFucker · 10/06/2010 18:02

MI...do you know many children's TV presenters ?

are you, in fact, John Leslie ?

Now that individual gives lie to the fact that Blue Peter presenters are all fluffy and wholesome (allegedly)

MarineIguana · 10/06/2010 18:23

John Leslie, now there's someone I wouldn't want to wake up in the morning and have turned into. Yuk!

I work in a related field and have met a few AF - including the current Blue Peter presenters.

DilysPrice · 10/06/2010 18:30

Including Andy A marineiguana? Ooooh! Now how anyone who'd worked with lovely Andy could end up with Charlie B (I'm a fan of his work, but I defo wouldn't) is beyond me.
OTOH Andy strikes me as being an over-enthusiastic early mornings and exercise type, which is a downside - at least with Charlie you could be guaranteed a reasonable approach to lie-ins and fry-ups.

AnyFucker · 10/06/2010 18:53

Is it true Andi Peters is an absolute twat ?

MarineIguana · 10/06/2010 20:16

Andy A v. lovely and gentlemanly.

Haven't met Andi P.

Here's the Screenwipe Konnie was on

Lizum · 10/06/2010 22:07

A classic screenwipe! Konnie must have been friendly enough with Charlie to do it. "I'm 33 but I look 9".

I'm now in mourning. Good bye, fair Charlie.

OMG! - just imagine if they had children!!! I bet Charlie would be the best Dad in the world though. I have a feeling that underneath his misanthropic exterior there is a a very loving person. I bet he has a cute puppy at home.
