Mister M Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 4 minutes ago, Delbow said: I met Weller twice, he was mardy AF both times. Although in terms of reputation, Cilla Black is in contention for most unpleasant celebrity, though I never met her. The Chuckle Brothers were renowned for never having a bad word to say about anyone, but they had a very bad word to say about Cilla apparently 🫢 Before she died I had heard rumours that she was horrid, and she was notoriously vile to cabin crew. Logged on to a forum for cabin crew, and to be fair when their famous passengers were pleasant they would say they were lovely. Ms Black sounded far from lovely, in fact not just a diva but downright belligerent. I was surprised by Paul OGradys friendship with her before she passed. When he was Lily Savage, she absolutely tore into Black calling her all the names under the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought she came across as a lovely person.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shook my hand , Tony Currie . 😀 He was a fantastic footballer. He’s also a complete and utter arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both very nice, if somewhat chemically “altered” people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
