The blonde girl is very annoying.

Doyoumind · 02/05/2018 22:26

Ben from Curiosity Killed the Cat is still wearing the same hat he had in the 80s.

JaneJeffer · 02/05/2018 22:37

Why do women from Essex always call themselves girls no matter what age they are?

JoyceDivision · 02/05/2018 22:38

The blond lady in the red dress is awful!!!

BearsandHearts · 02/05/2018 22:39

The blonde girl is a bit try hard

Partyfops · 02/05/2018 22:39

That blonde girl is so far up her own arse.

How could Essex girl not recognise him!

JoyceDivision · 02/05/2018 22:40

Ben protesting he didn't want to keep being recognised... While wearing the hat... And talking non stop about being in the band Hmm

jigster01 · 02/05/2018 22:42

I think she's been utterly pampered her whole life ...and expects to get her own way always ..that's how she comes across to me ..thinks too highly of herself and i don't like her dress not very classy -cheap looking

JaneJeffer · 02/05/2018 22:43

The new waiter is settling in well.

Partyfops · 02/05/2018 22:53

That's such a faux pas of her to phone her mum and act so star struck.

JaneJeffer · 02/05/2018 22:55

Oh that's so sad about his legs Sad

Partyfops · 02/05/2018 22:56

He's a twonk!! (Ben)

Haudyerwheesht · 02/05/2018 23:06

What happened with the identical twin st the end? I fell asleep and dh turned it over!

Red dress girl was ignorant. I’ve never heard of the singer guy - how famous was he?

WatchoutDSisdriving · 02/05/2018 23:10

Identical twin has now been on several dates with the girl. All going well as far as we can see

WatchoutDSisdriving · 02/05/2018 23:10

To be fair he was pretty famous at that time. You’d need to be mid 40s to be the right age though.

Cherrypie32 · 02/05/2018 23:17

He was also very good looking when younger, his lifestyle has massively taken its toll. She was very uncool to ring her mum at the table.

Haudyerwheesht · 02/05/2018 23:22

I’m glad re the twin he seemed like a nice guy in the 10 seconds I saw!

Ah I’m mid 30s I’ve heard of CKTC but that’s all really. He seemed like a bellend!

MargotLovedTom1 · 02/05/2018 23:53

I couldn't believe how haggard Ben VP looks Shock. Don't do drugs kids!

alphajuliet123 · 03/05/2018 00:03

That was a nice episode! Anyway know where Emily's blue off the shoulder dress is from?

alphajuliet123 · 03/05/2018 00:05

Ben V-P in his younger days. Seems like he's lost so much weight his head's shrunk, I'd be trying to fatten him up a bit!

He looked about 70 on the programme Sad. Had he been addicted to heroin or crack in the past I wonder?

Kinraddie · 03/05/2018 00:19

Ben from CKTC was THE hottest guy in the eighties. I played their song Down to Earth constantly in 1986. I actually found it incredibly sad seeing him now. Drugs/drink have obviously impacted his life big time. He looked a bit ridiculous now; you're 52,Ben! Stop with the hat and the trainers.

MrsEricBana · 03/05/2018 00:26

Yes I agree. He was HUGE in the 80s and looks rather sad now. He came across as v nice guy though.

SavageBeauty73 · 03/05/2018 00:33

Just say no.

He looked awful!!!!

purpleme12 · 03/05/2018 08:10

I really liked how the magician couple were still together. Liked them
