Did anyone see Cilla Black on Gok?

I don't like her anyway as she's false IMO but she was awful on here, bragging so much about her Bentley, her flight to NY to get jeans (cost of over 5k) and how she drinks top notch champers usually. She makes me want to throw up. Also she puts on that posh voice until she's around other 'real' scousers and then she's scouse again???

Don't get me wrong I don't envy wealth I just find it quite obscene when people go on like her.

I thought that too.

She grates on me.

I loved her face when he shouted for a size 14 although I did wonder why he did that? She's obviously not one??

She was fucking awful. I don't like her anyway but she really didn't do herself any favours. Did you see her reaction to Gok saying she was a size 14? Heaven forfend! She's about 100 years old, not a teenager. Grow up you stupid old tart!

I hate her hair too. I am a hairdresser anyway so am picky but hers is dire.

she was insufferable

she still looks like awful 80's throwback with that hair and leather jacket

I didn't like his look to be honest, made her look much the same.

I'm getting all riled again, that awful bloody woman. I need to get a life!

Marthasmama · 07/05/2009 09:51

Curious - he was probably ordered not to try and change her style. She's clearly a right cowbag so he was probably gagged, stylistically speaking.

NorbertDentressangle · 07/05/2009 09:51

I found her intensely irritating on that programme too. In fact, not just on that programme...all the time

Everytime I see her I'm reminded of a link on MN to a thread on a chat site for flight attendants about who was the most obnoxious celeb they'd ever had on a flight and Cilla Black came up time and time again.

Apparently she is foul, bad tempered and rude (according to the poor air stewards that had had to deal with her)

Marthasmama · 07/05/2009 09:54

I hate that she has this 'image' of being a down to earth Scouser. Arghhhhhhhh! I thought it was treason to hate Cilla Black. I don't like Barbara Windsor either.

LetThemEatCake · 07/05/2009 09:54

oh come on. If you had a face and hair like that, you'd be pretty keen to cling on to the fact that you were a size 10 or whatever she is. She ain't got nothing else to feel looks-confident about.

Worst insult that I ever had was when a man told me that I looked like Cilla Black, but uglier.

I was new to the country and had no idea who she was ... later found out and could've wept.

On the ++ side of that show, how lovely was the Mango maxi dress on the fashion face-off!!

TheCrackFox · 07/05/2009 09:55

I used to work in hotels and a lot of my friends have had the "pleasure" of serving her. Apparently she is a cow, really rude and demanding.

I bet you're right Marthasmama as I can't imagine he'd have such poor taste. I love Gok!! Would love to know what he really thinks of her Of course he could never say.

I can just imagine her on a flight think it'd be worth being sacked to spill something on her (no I didn't say hot Cilla black coffee)

Awwww LTEC. How gutted are you that you missed the chance to clock him one. And yes that dress was lovely and I love that he calls boobs 'bangers'.

Letthemeatcake is that you on your profile? How could anyone say (a) you are ugly you're stunning and (b) you're anything like her?
They must've been being ironic and fancied you surely?

OP posts:
princessmel · 07/05/2009 09:58

I heart Gok

Marthasmama · 07/05/2009 10:02

LTEC - Just looked at your profile. Angelina Jolie looks more like Cilla Black than you do. Are you sure he wasn't being ironic? Or stupid? Had you just turned him down? You have fabulous legs by the way.

LetThemEatCake · 07/05/2009 10:04

yes, that's me on my profile.

I dunno. Don't think he fancied me. He just came up to me in the street in Covent Garden, said it and then walked away.

Oh that explains it, just came up to you in Covent Garden... Can you send a vat of that serum to Cilla please but mark it 'Most expensive cream in the world' then she'll put it on

LetThemEatCake · 07/05/2009 10:17

anyway enough about that ... how are we liking Brix as the new Gok sidekick as opposed to Alexa??

I do miss Marigay McKee (spelling???) from Harrods, she was so deadpan about her £££££ taste.

Marthasmama · 07/05/2009 10:20

I quite like Brix as she looks like a normal woman. She's 'real'. Ugh, I hate that term. I do tend to get over excited about the designer stuff as it takes me back to the days when I could afford (and fit into) designer stuff.

SugarSpike · 07/05/2009 10:22

What show are we talking bout here, didnt know gok had a series out at the mo??

dexter73 · 07/05/2009 11:08

My dh liked that Mango dress too - his eyes nearly popped out of his head!

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 07/05/2009 11:13

Didn't see the show but know a girl who was an air steward. She and friends encountered her many times and she never failed to be really rude - no please or thank you, ignored the stewards completely. So much for her woman of the people routine.
