Is Sir Cliff my Dad?

Daddy's Home?

Ricky Harris is claiming that Sir Cliff may be his father. He believes his birth was result of a passionate love triangle and is demanding the pop legend takes a DNA test to prove it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2519957/A-love-affair-Shadows--I-believe-I-Cliff-Richards-secret-son.html

The father named on his birth certificate is former Shadows bassist. The late Jet Harris, however Cliff had an affair with Jet's first wife Carol Costa and Cliff himself has admitted that Carol was the only woman he shared a bed with. The affair is also the reason why Jet Harris left the Shadows a band he co founded in 1963.


Personally I think from the pics that Jet is his father as he bears a resemblance. Also I don't pretend to know much about genetics but Ricky Harris has Blue eyes, so did Jet. Cliff has brown eyes and from the black and white photos it looks like Carol has dark eyes as well.

    Is he joking? He looks like Jet Harris. Just take the pale eyes, for starters.

    I don't think there is a need for a DNA test, he's definitely Jett Harris's son. The eyes and the jawline are identical

    He's the image of Jet as an older man.

    I doubt very much that's he's Cliff's son, and I don't think Cliff will give him a DNA sample to prove it any day soon. He's obviously tortured by the lack of a father figure in his life, and perhaps needs to move on.

    I only clicked on this thread because I thought is was you asking if Cliff was your dad. :)

    I know I saw this on mail online this morning. He looks like Jet Harris. He looks nothing like Cliff Richard.

    I think he looks very much like his mum, but he resembles Jett. Sad story though.

    Is Cliff promoting something apart from his last Calendar? He seems strange this keeps happening.

    I think this is a 'should have gone to Specsavers' moment.

    He does look more like Jet. But I suppose if he's become convinced, he should have a DNA test. Which will, in all likelihood, prove that aging multimillionaire Cliff is not his dad.

    He looks just like Jet Harris to me.

    He also looks like HE could be Cliff Richard's dad not the other way round judging by how old he looks :o

    Hes not Cliffs Son for two reason

    1. The obvious reason
    2. He looks like Jet Harris and bears no resemblance at all to Cliff

    The original story is very strange...I keep thinking that the roles in the love affair are not what we are lead to believe. :cool:

    I know what you mean by 'obvious reason', but by all accounts, Cliff did have an affair with Carole, so much so that Jet certainly never got over it.

    Yeah, Cliff's not his Dad. I also highly doubt he had sex with the guy's mum - or any other woman.

    But it might not have actually involved having sex. If Jet and Carole's relationship wasn't very good, perhaps Carole turned to Cliff for emotional support. That might've been the 'affair'. Just a theory.

    Publicity seeking nobody looking for cash for a story.

    Looks nothing like Sir Cliff.

    Agree....though I'm inclined to believe it was more an unreturned love on Carols part...maybe she was slow to pick up the signals ,people in them days did'nt know or believe Gays existed ...maybe Cliff was happy to encourage this un requited love to keep up his hetero image ...who knows but its seems to have damaged both mother and son

    I don't think it has damaged mother and songoes to that after all this time.

    Cliff is getting older and there will be a large estate up for grabs when he finally goes to that great studio in the sky.
    This is a bid to get some of the action.
