Was he a mechanic at one time? Son of a main character?
Erm, I don't know the rules about naming here so could I call him Bony Horlicks?

I know who you mean but I think whoever this is appeared earlier than him

That thought crossed my mind as well. Mother & Father had the dodgy stone cladding on their house?

There seems to be plenty of names named on here so don't see why we are shy of mentioning this one.

I've already suggested son of Swamp Duck (the husband's pet name for the mother in question) but I don't think it has been either confirmed or denied, as far as I can tell.

Well back in the early 00s you could describe them as z list celebs for a couple of months, but in 2014 times have changed since then
I think I read the other day that Simon Cowell made a very large donation to the Manchester Dogs Home after the arson attack, so he's a good bloke in my book.

Yeah, that was good of him. Simon seems okay, especially going by what another poster on here said about him when they were having a conversation with no one else around in a corridor.

I thought of "Our Turry" as well. Well known to be dodgy, having allegedly done porridge for robbery and also suspected of carrying a gun in 2001, and also a gun was found in one of his houses too, of course, I must add, allegedly.
My dad is a conductor so has met a few celebrities (almost enirely musicians or presenters) during shows, some who've been very nice and others who haven't.
Andrea Bocelli was late for every rehearsal, offered no apologies for it and refused to sign autographs for anyone in the choir. Paul McCartney bought everyone a present after they did their show but wouldn't let anyone come near him and had my dad vetted by about 4 different security guards before he was allowed to speak to him. Graham Norton & Rufus Wainwright were lovely and very charming, posed for photos and signed autographs for everyone. Nick from The Apprentice is the nicest person he's ever met though - was in the audience and came up to speak to my dad afterwards and said what a good show it was, asked how long he'd been conducting, bought him a drink in the bar etc.
A friend of mine went to school with George Ezra and said that he was really unpleasant back then and acted like he was better than everyone else because he was in a band.
Personally, I met a currently popular tv chef this time last year at a function he was making an appearance at. I went over to talk to him because I love the show he's on and he was absolutely charming initially, but then he asked me if I wanted to go for a drink after and got quite arsey with me when I politely turned him down since he's old enough to be my dad (something along the lines of "I could have any woman here if I wanted to" was said).
Also met Emma Bunton in the late 90s and remember her being very down to earth and polite.

Sounds like quite a Hollywood diva?

Indeed. I expect I'm not the only one who's had a conversation like that with him.

Of course not, I feel terribly embarrassed now - I'm probably confusing him with someone else who did refuse to sign autographs. I highly doubt anyone would have asked him.

When you say Nick from The Apprentice, do you mean Nick Hewer? I really like him, think he's really good on Countdown, just comes across as a genuinely lovely bloke. My husband doesn't get why I feel that way!

Man who can't see, speaks another language predominantly and reads Braille tended to be late since he can't read clock faces and has no understanding of the written form of script turns out to not be sociable at rehearsals. I don't think you can really knock Bocelli for not being able to see, write or respond to people speaking to him without a translator or not pressing a button on his watch every other minute to so tell him the time.
After what happened to Lennon, I can't blame McCarthy for being cautious about security.

I think Nick is fantastic on Countdown. He's the first one since Richard who actually seems to ENJOY the program he's presenting.

Perhaps paranoid about communist conspirators.
