    But has Lionel Richie ever danced with Sammy Davis Jr, that's the question?

    No, but Bruce Forsyth did, and he's also black ;)

    Incomprehensible how anyone could mix them up.... Ritchie's chin is twice the size of Blair's head for a start. She must have had it in her game plan to play the dumb\ditzy card at some point but a combination of nerves and stage fright meant she ballsed it up and unleashed it half-cocked and too early.

    His face looks tough.

    I can't believe people are talking about Jasmine's surgery but not Lionel's

    Glad that the universe didn't implode on itself by having them both in the same room at the same time :o

    Lionel Blair - white, British, dancer

    Lionel Ritchie - black, American, singer

    An easy mistake to make I thought.
    I thought maybe he was Lionel from that old American sitcom, The Jeffersons.

    Lional Blair, Lional Richie.

    Couldn't really care less.

    He's a boring old cog who would be better placed in a care home rather than BB.

    He's clearly not cut out or prepared for exactly what he has got himself in for. Probably have a cardiac arrest before the series is out, dreading he lasts any longer.

    How ageist! He has as much right to go in there if he wants as any of them. For a man of 82 he is pretty sprightly and more so than many a lot younger

    LOL no, but I did get Lionel Blair mixed up with Linda Blair before the housemates entered. My mother was asking who was going in, and I couldn't remember the name, so I said "somebody Blair, first name begins with an L", she said "Linda?" and I was like, "That's the one!". I've since found out Linda Blair played the possessed girl in The Exorcist :D:D:D

    I mockingly turned to the wife when Lionel emerged from the eye and said in my best Essex dipsy voice "Ere didnee do that 'Ello' song?" followed by "nah that was Tony Blair"

    So you can imagine our faces when she came out with that

    *rolls eyes

    I don't get how anyone could mix them up, or imagine Lional Ritchie would need to do BB.

    Lionel Richie seems to confuse a lot of people. Does anyone remember when H had a conversation on Celebrity Big Brother and appeared to out him? I can't remember exactly how it went, but I think it may have been something like this:

    H: Some of the people you find out are actually gay are a big surprise, like Lionel Richie...

    Fellow stars: Is Lionel Richie gay?

    H: Eh, no...

    I could see it in his eyes, I could see it in his smile. It wasn't him. Plus, Lionel Richie is black.

    :D:D very good !!
    And you couldn't mistake Lionel Blair !!! (was quite shocked as not seen him for years, but he's very with it and on the ball!)
