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!!

Whoever he is, he sounds like a letchy old has-been.

And yes, it's cheating. He must do similar things with lots of women.

Martin Kemp?

HowsAnnie25 · 18/06/2018 22:23

Oh I was thinking of Martin Kemp but can't remember seeing him on game shows recently. I really want to know now!

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:23

Oh no not Martin Kemp, he seems lovely (and devoted to his wife).

KittyHawke80 · 18/06/2018 22:24

For some reason I’m going Paul Young. Or a Goss. Or a Kemp. Or McLachlan. I think I might try it on with Rick Astley, actually. I really, really fancied him then and he’s no slouch now.

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:24

Simon Le Bon? He has a bit of a rep...

I was at a sales conference once where Shane Ritchie had been invited as a motivational speaker and afterwards was throwing himself at all the women. Everyone turned him down, his best mate was with him and said he had no idea how this could be happening as usually the women threw themselves at him. He was quite pathetic, kept asking people if they had ever shagged anyone famous.

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:26

Aw not Paul Young - leave him alone, he's been through it lately Sad

Darren Day

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:26

But yes Shane Ritchie has it written all over him.

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:27

As does Darren Day Grin

Zoflorabore · 18/06/2018 22:28

Name or it didn't happen Grin

NotARegularPenguin · 18/06/2018 22:30

John Leslie?

Carouselfish · 18/06/2018 22:30

It counts. I had a opportunity with someone I really liked who was famous and didn't because I had just got back together with an old boyfriend. Much as I kick myself now since we broke up again.

Windydayz · 18/06/2018 22:30

Shane Ritchie. Darren day wasnt 80s was he?

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:31

Trevor & Simon?

FirstOfMyName · 18/06/2018 22:32

Yes I’d say it counts.

He’s married - don’t name him. Not to protect him but his poor wife.

animaniac · 18/06/2018 22:32

Hmm...Tony Hadley?

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:34

Did people fancy Tony Hadley once?

AllIHaveToDo · 18/06/2018 22:34

Timmy Mallett ?

somuchunanswered · 18/06/2018 22:35

@BadTasteFlump Grin

Barry Chuckle??

But I do agree. He can’t be named. Rat that he is.

AllIHaveToDo · 18/06/2018 22:35

Thought I think he's older than 40's/50's

BadTasteFlump · 18/06/2018 22:36

Is Barry Chuckle the (slightly) better looking one? Grin

somuchunanswered · 18/06/2018 22:36

Yes. His face is less... condensed.

But alas, he’s 73!
