    Ex GMTV presenter now advertising postcode lottery?
    Obviously not.

    I mean do many 'tv presenters' own a company that employs a sales director? I mean even those who might have formed their own little production company they're not firms with senior executives and the likes (they're usually one man band things with maybe their brother in law doing the books and a couple of graduates making the tea).

    The report clearly states this is someone who runs a company with an executive management team. Someone whose primary job is not tv presenter. So the like of Vanessa Feltz and Fiona Phillips are way off the mark.

    It clearly says TV presenter who is a household name. Fiona Philips is wrong as she is married but it could well be Feltz.

    It says 'The blonde celebrity, who is a household name'.

    There's no mention of the word presenter at all. You must read things before you state what they 'clearly' say.

    And like I say, unless Vanessa Feltz runs a company with an exec team it's not going to be her. Having a cottage tv production company (which I'm not even sure she has) doesn't count.

    She's not really a TV presenter though

    It doesn't say presenter! It says media personality. So it could be Deborah. I can't imagine it though.

    Oh dear, the mere thought of being hit on by Feltz is putting me right off my Sunday bacon roll for some reason.

    What about Kelly hoppen?
    I don't know too much about Kelly Hoppen but I always got the impression her business is/was more consultancy based therefore also not the type to have exec teams and 'sales directors'.

    I would imagine she has a large team behind her.

    She's married. Woman in question lives with partner. Not DM.

    Agree. It's someone known for first and foremost being a business woman with a spin-off TV career.

    I totally agree. You don't get to where she's got and stay there without a big team working for you. However it's a different kind of team ie more agents and PR and marketing.

    Like I say her business is consultancy, 'Kelly Hoppen' is for all intents and purpose THE sales director for 'Kelly Hoppen' because 'Kelly Hoppen' is the product/service.

    I still do think it could be the bra women. I mean she's recently faced some employment tribunal troubles.

    I know she's in her forties but I can totally imagine the Daily Mail being bitchy like that towards someone who has put a gag on the press. Kinda make a snidy comment about her age because 'What's she gonna do about it?'.

    I would describe Kelly Hoppen as more a redhead, certainly not blond.
    I immediately thought of that woman who made things with sticky backed plastic, went on to sit on a breakfast sofa and had a ski-ing accident. Then I thought of an ex of a Beatle [he has since remarried] then I thought of an ex Loose Woman.

    Lost weight.
    Joined CAN.
    Became a media ****.

    Michelle Moan is her name.

    Sticky backed plastic woman isn't living with a partner now though.

    This is how the woman has been described in the article:

    A TV star
    Female television celebrity
    A well-known media personality
    Blonde celebrity, who is a household name
    An absolute nightmare
    In her 50s
    Lives with her partner

    The blonde celebrity, who is a household name, is being accused by the ex-sales director of her company of sacking him because he rejected her sexual advances.


    Is the bra woman a household name? I just asked Mr Fandango if he knew who she is and he didn't, although he is not interested in such things really. He also didn't know who the curly haired dragon is either.

    The Moany one.

    Who also has a fairly prominent charitable profile. She fits except for the age.

    Thing is she isn't a household name, or is she?
