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!!

Cheating is cheating. I wouldn't want DP to kiss anyone, even a celeb.

That being said, I don't know if I could ever turn down Jason Momoa given half a chance Hmm

That’s for suggesting I’m going to age quicker as a result. You’re equally insulting.

I didn't say people with mental health problems age quicker. He's 58 years old. He looks good. He doesn't look 30 anymore, but he looks good.

When you have mental health problems, just getting up can be a struggle, bathing can be a struggle, living can be a non-stop struggle. So, just because he doesn't hit the gym every day, dye his hair, and have botox doesn't mean he doesn't look good.

I also imagine that posing for publicity photos must be really awkward.

Back to the thread, the reality is that celebs are just people. They are people in the public eye, but still people. If your friend had fancied Tom in accounts for ages but they were both married, but had a drunken snog, I doubt anyone would be saying good on her. Whoever she snogged is just a person, as is his wife.

@QuietNinjaTardis not if David Tennant sees me first WinkTardis

RantyMare · 19/06/2018 11:14

It wouldn't bother me if DP Sid this with a long desired celebrity so I'm in the 'OK if both parties are OK' camp. However if it was to go to anything riskier than a fondle, protection, and a one off, fine. A full blown romance, not fine!

Shadow666 I told you I have MH. Clinical depression with suicidal episodes and anxiety. Don’t be so patronising to explain what it’s like to someone who has told you that they have it. And yes, I hope we can get back to the thread now.

Then, you'd think you'd have a bit more empathy then.

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:33

Anyway....

Andy Crane?

MiddleClassProblem · 19/06/2018 11:35

So you can only have empathy for him and not me? I’m not going read up on him. He’s not on my radar. Just like I’m not on yours and you don’t realise how crap you’re being. You think you’re sticking up for MH but being a dick to someone in MH in the process. Slow hand clap.

PS just because we have MH doesn’t mean we can’t laugh at ourselves. Nothing in my previous post about him is offensive. Jog on.

MiddleClassProblem · 19/06/2018 11:37

Sorry, I hate it when someone details a thread with an unnecessary debate. And here I am doing it myself 😂

We can rule out anyone who might now be a football pundit. I’m think this person has been on Pointless.

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:38

Andy Peters?

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:43

Terry Christian?

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:43

Or has anybody said Les Dennis or Neil Morrisey yet?

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2018 11:48

People who were at peak attractiveness in the late 80's/early 90's (most of us posting here included) are obviously going to look older no matter what their mental health is like and no one has implied otherwise.

MiddleClassProblem · 19/06/2018 11:50

Ah, covering your walls in Les Dennis posters. The good old days 😁

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:50

I've got it - Shaking Stevens!

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 11:55

Middleclass my friend at school really fancied him in his Family Fortunes Days - and he was good enough for Amanda Holden back in the day!

MrsClutterworth · 19/06/2018 11:58

Your friend is a skank.

Celebrity or not and whether she's "allowed" to or not which is just unbelievable, the guy in question is married and I'm sure his wife wouldn't be happy. You should probably take this post down incase someone clicks and it causes wars or the DM steal it and start rumours.

Tell your friend to get a grip of her life.

MiddleClassProblem · 19/06/2018 11:59

I’m just not sure where someone would find a Les Dennis poster. Maybe the Les Dennis fan club?

He wasn’t really someone in teen magazines.

JaneJeffer · 19/06/2018 12:00

Or has anybody said Les Dennis or Neil Morrisey yet? Amanda is that you?

Mymycherrypie · 19/06/2018 12:01

Andy Peters is also gay and well above panel shows, he’s a very successful producer now.

BadTasteFlump · 19/06/2018 12:05

Really? He was promoting the This Morning competition recently - mind you, it looked like nice work if you could get it - he was sitting on a lovely beach somewhere.

MuckyMare · 19/06/2018 12:06

"A skank"
Hmm wow.

I say good for her if she got to kiss one of her idols and her DP was cool with it

ShackUp · 19/06/2018 12:11

Andi Peters killed TOTP when he was producer. His name is mud in our house. We also pronounce it An-dye Grin

Choccywoccyhooha · 19/06/2018 12:16

Ooo Tony Hadley?
