Does it count as cheating if it's with a celebrity?

My friend (female) kissed one of her childhood hearthrobs at the weekend. We were down in London and ended up in a club he was in. Anyway she got the nerve to talk to him and we ended up sitting with his group and she ended up all over him in the booth. No sex, but a lot of kissing and wandering hands.

She told her husband when we got home!! He doesn't mind (or so he says). The guy was on her list of people she's allowed to sleep with, she had posters of him on her bedroom walls and he's in his late 40's/early 50's now? Anyway her and her husband both agree it doesn't count as cheating if it's someone on the list or someone famous. WTF? I don't know if she'd slept with him if he'd be bothered even? They've been together 20 years, married 15 and neither of them have ever cheated before. Both just carrying on, I'm in shock she told him so freely and he doesn't mind!!

Vernon Kaye? Not a boyband but was on posters.

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 19/06/2018 00:06

Why on earth do people in relationships even have a list of people they can snog/ sleep with? I know its a joke but really?

Anyway, could it be Alan Davies, Jimmy Carr or Mark Lemarr?

Or it could be a famous sports star....

EvilMorty · 19/06/2018 00:07

Mark Lamarrrrrrrr?

AcrossthePond55 · 19/06/2018 00:09

If her DH is ok with it, then I guess it's not cheating (for them). But unless the celeb has an open marriage, it was cheating for him and she is complicit in his cheating.

Unless her DH knew she was going to meet this celeb and try to kiss him (or whatever), she took a huge, huge chance. My DH might be OK with a (no tongue) big smacking kiss and a hug from my heartthrob, but he would be 'less than pleased' if I were to have a 'make out session' with him!

Panel show could be like CBBOTS though and they’ll have anyone.

“Tonight, we’ve got next doors dog, a snail I found outside and Rastamouse on the panel!”

MicheleWeinberger · 19/06/2018 00:10

Toby antis, Jeremy Edwards or Sean maguire. I was thinking of. Paul Nicholls? Not really late 80s though.

Are they from the UK?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/06/2018 00:15

*@Zoflorabore * have some coffee & tv or cheese to keep you awake a bit longer iyswim Smile

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/06/2018 00:15

Allegedly.

IwankaTramp · 19/06/2018 00:16

Fuck me OP. Give us a bloody clue...

I am thinking crispy lugs.

EvilMorty · 19/06/2018 00:16

Timmy Mallet!!!

IwankaTramp · 19/06/2018 00:17

Not 1980s though Trace.

Cheesy was the fittest mind.

Candyflip · 19/06/2018 00:18

I personally don’t think of kissing as cheating anyway. But if she had posters of him on his wall he sounds like a bit of a has-been so not much of a threat to a 20 year old marriage.

halfwitpicker · 19/06/2018 00:18

How could it be Vernon Kay? He's banished to the North

And Bolton at that

NorbertTheDragon · 19/06/2018 00:19

I watch lots of panel shows, but can I think of anyone who's on them? Oh no. Thanks brain.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/06/2018 00:20

Ah yes forgot they were famous in the 90s although they formed in 88.

IwankaTramp · 19/06/2018 00:20

Has that gobshite from The Word been on anything lately?

ObiJuanKenobi · 19/06/2018 00:21

Bradley Walsh?

lololove · 19/06/2018 00:22

Nooo not Bradley, I love him! He was a bit of a playboy in his youth but he's devoted to his wife and kids now and not so much a hasbeen (imo) as hot property at the minute.

NorbertTheDragon · 19/06/2018 00:23

Gary Lineker? Trying to think of sports stars now.

Definitely not Paul Gascoigne. I did love Gazza back in the day (see, bad taste as a teen!)

I can't remember who else was on the England team.

Hausfullofgrls · 19/06/2018 00:23

Stop worrying about other people's marriages

Tartyflette · 19/06/2018 00:35

Gary Lineker was reeally, reeally well-known for, er, putting it about. Allegedly.
As was the good-looking, stocky Rugby player who was said to be involved with Princess Di at one stage.... can't remember his name.
It must be a Duran or a Spandau. Or a Bros. (not the bald one)
I don't think that Alan Davies was ever a poster boy!
But other comedians -- could it be Rob Newman? he had a certain something.

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2018 00:38

His name was bum face Tarty

Tartyflette · 19/06/2018 00:42

Ooh - David Byrne (Talking Heads) is on tour here until Wednesday....
He played Glasgow on Friday so could have been in London on Saturday.
