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!!

Morten isn't married so it can't be him!

Peter Andre came to my school when I was 14/15. And 911. That was at least 1996.

Those saying it's cheating...isnt that for them to decide within their relationship? If he is ok with it then it isn't cheating.

I was in an open relationship and it just about being clear and honest and setting boundaries.

They had decided prior that this was allowed.

So no it isn't cheating, for them.

Look at him seductively chewing his glasses at you.

I didn’t know the name but recognise his younger self.

Technically PJ and Duncan were in Byker Grove from 89...

The more I think about this thread the more I think it didn't happen! A married celeb was in a booth in a London nightclub snogging and groping a random woman and no one took a pic for the press?

Look, Tony Slattery has been to hell and back with his addiction problems and mental health. He is a 58 year old man, who looks like a happy, healthy 58 year old man. That’s a good thing. I don’t see why people think it’s ok to slate him about how he looks. Especially, as he looks absolutely fine.

If you think mocking someone who has mental health problems is funny, then I suggest you get a different hobby.

TheSausageEmperor · 19/06/2018 09:42

Great threadGrin

Lycanthropology · 19/06/2018 09:57

I did find Tony Slattery a bit of a pain in the arse on telly 25 years ago (or whenever he was famous) but nonetheless very handsome.

He's still handsome! Twinkly eyes and cute boyish face under that grey beard. People do get older!

Anyway, how about just a 1st initial or something, OP as this is getting painful?

Zoflorabore · 19/06/2018 10:15

I was also thinking the same about the lack of photos etc, people will do anything to make a few quid off the back of a "celeb"

absolutely am not bitter that I can't find out who it was Grin

Zoflorabore · 19/06/2018 10:16

Ps who the fuck is Tony Slattery? Runs away.....

TheresSomebodyAtTheDoor · 19/06/2018 10:31

Pat Sharp would be as totally believable (so very sleazy) and has been on Buzzcocks I think. Think there were posters of him in J17.

JessicaJonesJacket · 19/06/2018 10:34

Chris Barrie? She could have had a Red Dwarf poster ...
Tom Ellis?

QuietNinjaTardis · 19/06/2018 10:40

David Tennant wouldn’t cheat on his wife! He’s a nice bloke. —until he’s sees me obviously— he may be the top of my list. BlushGrinTardis

Marti pellow? Matt Goss?

elQuintoConyo · 19/06/2018 10:50

Matt Goss! Now he could slip his hand down my bra any day of the week Wink

Otherwise i'm thinking Brett Anderson...

lastnamefirstfirstnamelast · 19/06/2018 10:54

Ye Deffo Goss or pellow

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2018 10:56

Chris Barrie has a lovely arse, well he used to at any rate!

MiddleClassProblem · 19/06/2018 10:57

I was taking the piss out of his pose. I have don’t really have any idea who he is but as a person with mental health issues I don’t think you’re being fair. Sure certain addictions can change your looks but my mental health has fuck all to do with how I age aesthetically. That’s for suggesting I’m going to age quicker as a result. You’re equally insulting.

auntiebasil · 19/06/2018 11:06

She's a creep. As is the tosspot she snogged.

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:06

Shadow I don't think anybody on here has been mocking mental health problems. There were just a few comments about how much TS has aged, but that was allowed last time I checked...

If you haven't noticed, there aren't many celebrities left who haven't taken a bit of a pasting on this thread - but it's just a bit of FUN Smile
