Paul Whitehouse attempted mugging

[lornemalvo]

Someone attempted to mug Paul Whitehouse, he fought back and they got away with nothing. I think he started out as a plasterer and is a real, down to earth bloke, unlike many celebs. Good for him.

Good for him. I hope he's OK. The fishing programme with him and Bob Mortimer is really terrific. I like it as much as anything at all on TV.

Was it this geezer!

I read the headline as he tried to mug someone lol. It said he's welsh in the news. How can someone so funny be welsh?
At least he's ok.

ATM near Sains in Islington, there's CCTV of it surely. Nice work MrW and gws DrM.

PW is 68 years old, so good on him for giving some back. Lucky he wasn't hurt (or worse) though. National treasure.

Use of ATMs must have fallen through the floor. I doubt I use one more than once a year now.

Less of the herd protection.

Some guy on Reddit is claiming he was there and it wasn't a mugging at all and that Paul pushed in the queue

And a comment on another thread saying the same...

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnitedKingdomNews/comm...

Might explain why he hasn't reported it to the police. CCTV would confirm what actually happened.
