This?

[French Frank]

Probably not related, but I can't watch old episodes of who wants to be a millionaire with Tarrant due to his insistence on proper necking any and all female contestants in the chair.

Quite a lot of them physically retreat as he approaches.

Very creepy behaviour.

Didn't look right even 25 years ago.

Looks like it’s being brought to the surface again by The Sun in light of recent events with other comedians.

I expect we’ll see a lot more of this from historic events - think of all the celebrities over the years who were very popular with the opposite sex - regardless of fault or not I’m sure there will be more investigations and headlines.

Well, if we're now prosecuting historical cases, I'd like to raise the issue of certain publications perving over 15 year old girls who are 'nearly legal'.

Given The Sun crowned Russell Brand "Shagger of the Year" three times in a row, you'd think they'd be a little more circumspect.

Prosecuting historical cases???? Did that make sense in your head when you typed it???

From the Guardian article linked to above:

• Johnny Vegas complained about this article. His solicitors have been in contact with the young woman from the audience who has told them that she went along with the joke willingly and did not feel intimidated, scared or abused during this performance.

If you hold a seashell up to your ear you can hear all the texts, emails, WhatsApps and browser histories all being cleaned as every 'celebrity' in the UK starts to panic.

Which rag had a countdown to Charlotte Church turning 16?

There was one a couple of years ago perving at a supermodel's underage daughter.

Since everything published in most papers is freely available I'm sure at least one journalist has asked Claude to go through every one for anything interesting.

[Scrubs]

''Well she was just 17, you know what I mean?''

Get The Beatles cancelled next I say...



Seriously though, the amount of names the general 'Facebook mother' types are throwing around on social media now is just mental.

It's usually followed by the tag line 'I cannot stand *insert name*, I hope they are next''

Given he used to perform blind drunk I'd be more surprised if such things hadn't occurred.

Bill Wyman started seeing his wife to be Mandy when she was 13…….

None of them had a countdown, it was a random website at the time. Some newspapers reported that she was trying to get it shut down.

The Daily Star (erroneously mentioned as the Mirror here) did post an article lewdly commenting on her chest at age 15, alongside an article criticising the "Brass Eye special":

edit: and today, an old clip from Charlote Church's show has resurfaced, where she awkwardly calls out Chris Moyles (to his face) for comments on his show on her 16th birthday where he said he wanted to take her virginity (he would have been 28 at the time). (In the clip she said she was 15, but articles from the time have transcripts which show that it was on her birthday)

This one probably sticks out for me more than the others. She’s two years older than me, and I remember as a kid at school wondering how a bloke older than my dad could be shagging a girl still at school. I never really understood how the Red Tops ran with it the way they did.

Not to mention all the famous people in his circle.

Charlotte Church comes across well in that clip. I never liked Moyles.
