Does anyone else find Giles Coren oddly attractive in all his mad Supersizers outfits?

The whole Adam Ant thing kind of passed me by but Giles looks yummy .

Please tell me I'm not alone in this.......

I read that email, and it was obviously something he was extremely wound up about! I doubt he communicates like that all the time. He is articulate and funny. We all get a bee in our bonnet from time to time.

Molesworth · 17/06/2009 15:44

Oh god, he sounds insufferable. What a shame!

Molesworth · 17/06/2009 15:45

I wonder if Sue Perkins actually likes him.

mrsruffallo · 17/06/2009 15:46

I can't see it all. He seems like someone you should fancy (not offensive looking) but something repels you

mrsshackleton · 17/06/2009 17:31

Maggie

I'm sorry to tell you but he does communicate like that a good deal of the time.

Which is why all his girlfriends dump him.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 17/06/2009 17:34

He did look great as Adam Ant.

MoominMymbleandMy · 17/06/2009 22:27

Maggie,

He has too much 'form' for this to be a one-off. And, I don't think even as a one-off it is in the least acceptable to be so offensive. It would have been a warning/sacking issue with an ordinary mortal.

It is not as though he has demonstrated any remorse. He did state recently he had never regretted a single email he had sent.

I am enjoying the show tonight
according to the torygraph, perkins is the gay one
can't recall her sidekicks name

FfreckleFface · 22/06/2009 22:03

I fancy the arse off him, and enjoy his writing too.

Watched them on Jonathan Ross a few weeks ago, and they held hands for a brief second before going out of the green room, which I thought was quite sweet.

I have heard stories about the anger and general not niceness, but I'm not all that interested in his personality to be honest!

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 22/06/2009 22:04

I think he's cool!

Olihan · 22/06/2009 22:06

Me either, Ffreckle . They did seem close on JR, although Giles didn't seem entirely comfortable in the interview.

I can't believe how brave they are eating some of those ridiculous dishes. Just the idea of a few of them makes me gag!

I do fancy Giles Coren. I do.

I miss his Dad. Wonderful, erudite and warm man he was.

Sue Perkins is great too. And Mel Giedroyc. I read somewhere that they're going to do some more stuff together. Didn't Mel have children and write books about it?

KittyBigglesworth · 01/07/2009 12:33

No not at all. Sue Perkins is more attractive, she's very amusing. He always reminds me of a weasel with his little incisors and overbite. It must be hard living in his father's shadow, Alan Coren came across as more self assured and less neurotic than he is.

GetOrfMoiLand · 01/07/2009 12:39

Yes think Mel Geidroyc wrote a book about motherhood.

Think Mel and Sue are very funny - used to love Light Lunch

Love Sue Perkins (also love the way she is so self deprecating and says he name sounds like a packet of fags), if I were gay she would be my woman of choice.

GetOrfMoiLand · 01/07/2009 12:40

Oh and Giles Coren - short arsed and sticky out teeth. Plus he isn't as posh or clever as he thinks he is and as such has an enormous chip.

BettyTurnip · 01/07/2009 12:43

I have Mel's books on pregnancy and motherhood - they are funny.

KittyBigglesworth · 01/07/2009 15:44

I don't find the macho actor from Life on Mars attractive either nor the one from Hotel Babylon with the embossed brow. Steve Jones is pleasing to the eye, but there's not much more beyond that is there.

KittyBigglesworth · 01/07/2009 15:48

Oh bring back Light Lunch! They were so witty. I can't abide all the cackling on Loose Women.

GetOrfMoiLand · 01/07/2009 15:58

Light Lunch was so funny, they all had the guests on trying to cook in a very half-arsed fashion.

Bet Mel Giedroyc is a mumsnetter (Mel, cooee!)

superjo · 02/07/2009 02:58

God, he is gorgeous.

HarleyQuinn · 03/07/2009 00:44

Hes very nice to look at (sigh) and I love Sue, shes very cool!

candidaj · 09/03/2011 13:01

Yes, i know him too and I agree. He is short and not very pleasant. His wife is very nice, on the other hand, as are lots of his friends (the old ones, before he was famous) so I assume that under there somewhere is something worth knowing, it's just that whenever I see him I get the other side - the side of him that makes you want to slap his face.
