No, me as well. I assumed it was the very fast sprinter, as he's the only world famous Olympian who most people will have heard of?

Really? Not the swimmer who has the record for most medals? Not the young diver? To name just two. You'd have to be pretty sports and particularly Olympics unaware to have only heard of the very fast sprinter Anyway, it's none of them I'm thinking of
Someone in their first Olympics but who was already a several-times medallist.

She is, and has been for almost a decade. The final Dawson's episode aired in May of 2003

It comes from an Italian publication so its unlikely to be anyone British IMO. The swimmer is not as famous as the sprinter either.

As I said, it's not the swimmer but to say the most decorated Olympian of all-time by a million miles is not as famous as someone who's won a mere fraction of that is insular BS.

I still don't know who is being discussed.

The Miss A and Miss B stories I've read on various sites and though some things are phrased slightly differently, a lot of the details are the same and seem to point in the same direction.

The things all the rumours/reports/gossip on the several sites have in common is that Miss A has been a friend of his for years and spent those years unconvincingly denying she had anything other than platonic feelings for him, because he'd always had a girlfriend or other in the years she'd known him, but she jumped straight in as soon as Miss TV was out of the picture. However, he'd met Miss B as a work acquaintance while still with Miss TV and started seeing her soon after splitting with Miss TV. The general consensus is that Miss B is the true object of his affections but she's a bit of a free spirit who doesn't want a relationship and in the meantime Miss A is a more than willing friend with benefits.

Interesting and I really do think I know who you're getting at because of your first paragraph but I think you're barking up the wrong tree (or should I say I don't think your idea has a leg to stand on? ).

That guy has been seeing a reality TV contestant/lads mag "model" for about three months and she seems to well and truly have her feet under the table. Not that I don't wish this wasn't about that guy. They have to be the most annoying couple on Twitter with their silly games that they think keep people guessing, and on three occasions in three months she's thrown a wobbly and slagged him off on there and she often comes across as mentally unstable. Weird relationship.

I'm certain we mean the same man haha
Ooh I didn't know about Miss A allegedly having cheated. Hmmm it's definitely interesting. Especially if other people are now saying its not him...

Maybe I should have stuck to my fail-safe guess for Showbiz blinds - is it too late to change my answer to Teeny Tiny Tom?

Ah, right I see who you mean now, thanks.

Miss A didn't. Miss TV (the girl on TV show) allegedly did. Neither Miss A nor Miss B are the girl on the TV show.

That's as maybe and I'm not denying the mag girl (who I'd say is Miss A) but an Italian site, he spends half the year in Italy and Miss B is known to have Italian connections. I rest my case.

Ahh I get where you're coming from now

[Acashoonhay]

What a sad blind about the actress, particularly if it's who's been suggested and her daughter will end up an orphan.
