Gok Wan
My ex-girlfriends cousin. I’d ask her what he was up to, but things didn’t end swimmingly between us.
Has a slot on QVC (so I'm told)
An advert for "Gok Wan, Easy Asian" came up on the Good Food channel earlier. I was surprised as I thought his brother Kwok was l the one with the cook books but it looks like Gok did that too.

I'd presumed Gok was an easier sell and the brother was the one supplying the ideas but maybe not. A quick Google suggest Gok by as been doing cooking on This Morning.

There's something about Chris Packham that gives me the creeps.
I think its the stuff with his step daughter (unless its just her using him to try and further herself)
It's the smile I think, which is more of a leer.

Adrian Lester was in "Staged", with David Tennant and Michael (I think) Sheen, last week or the week before. Marc Warren is in the remake of Van Der Valk, I think. Hasn't Robert Vaughn died?

Justin Lee Collins

Made a threat to kill his ex partner (I think?) Which hugely damaged his career, subsequently leading to him going under the radar for years. He now presents radio.

Little more serious than that.

I love how horribly pixilated that image of him is.

I wasn't aware it was domestic abuse as well. It's a shame really, because his programmes were normally very good. Especially his 'Bring back' series.

Yeah he did some good ones on that bring back. What a shame he’s clearly a very disturbed guy.

Did a google and this is just bizarre and terrifying:

It's a shame we never got 'Bring Back The Goonies' that was being planned.

Josh Gad did one of his reunited apart YouTube series on The Goonies, I think pretty much everyone from the cast was on it.

They were all pretty good actually - Ghostbusters, Ferris Bueller, Back To The Future and Splash were the other ones I think.

Justin Lee Colins is an ex student of SGS college in north Bristol and was invited to come and give out prizes on prize day.
He apparently gave a full on adult show to the audience blue jokes, swearing,inappropriate comments etc.
People just sat there in stunned silence and embarrassment, some parents attending with small children were not impressed.

Strangest thing was despite that recording being played out in court, he accepted the guilty judgement but still insisted he wasn't abusive. He always seemed unbearably smug to me when he was on TV; like he believed his own publicity and thought he was wonderful. He clearly had long standing issues underneath.

Good.

That smug, parasitic scumbag is my nomination for the 'People you want to punch in the face thread'
(....and add a bit more than just a punch)

Yeah, kinda thinking what Ryan Gosling's character does to that bloke in the lift or at least what Vinnie Jones with the car door in Lock Stock.

Back on topic, I'll mention Wincey Willis purely as a quick Google search reveals her full name as the utterly wonderful sounding Florence Winsome Dymmock.

Funnily enough, I saw Huw Higginson (PC Garfield) in Secret City on Netflix last night. Looks like he's relocated to Oz to resuscitate his acting career.
I know a relative of someone who starred in a film with him last year.

As for Chris packham, I don’t watch any of his stuff. But he seems to be up there with the devil as far as the few farmers I know are concerned.
He is hated by many Commoners. For someone whose profession is communication, he hasnt slotted well into the community.
