Gooseberry Crumble

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/17105337/emmerdale-strictly-kelvin-fletcher-wife-pregnant/ Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher announces that he and his wife are expecting their third child.

An assortment of names I think deadpoolers should some pay attention to with regards to 2022.... Richard Wilson Barry Cryer Don King Robbie Coltrane Robert Duvall Michael J Fox Berry Gordy Coltranes age and obesity and the length of time since Michael J Fox was diagnosed with parkinsons disease are particular factors to note.

It's just the nature of the situation or game! I had Zandra Rhodes eyed up a unique pick until her cancer diagnosis was mentioned on here.

Indeed ! It is getting harder to pick uniques and I cannot decide if my DDP team stands a good chance of beating my total of 38 unique picks that I achieved this year! Not long to wait but there is a lot under the Crumble hat.. I hope!

Oh I hate it when I see a strong potential unique pick mentioned on here!!

I haven't given up hope yet on the enema busting the record! You just never know! A glut could be imminent Tight situation but not impossible or implausible. Keep the faith the rewards could be great! Enjoy your holiday and some much deserved leisure and rest!

Team just sent by PM! Let the cookie Crumble whatever way it does! Cheers for running this pool again @gcreptile Much appreciated

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10324715/TALK-TOWN-Stirling-Moss-sons-agony-hes-left-fortune.html New article in the Mail on Sunday on how Stirling Moss son has 'largely' been left out of his will.

Well that might not be a bad choice as Beatrice was born in 1988 and Eugenie 1990 - so two years apart. If either girl does the same as their parents a new sibling could be born in 2023 which would cover the time period of the competition.

Sent mine in too! Surprise surprise I did include Lady Gabriella Kingston daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent in my team!

https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/coronation-streets-verity-henry-gives-25722340 Actress Verity Henry , best known for her role as Rachel in Coronation Street , has given birth to her second child.

Where did you hear that? If true I think @Ulitzer95 perspective/ theory in their post is most likely what happened. The Duchess of Grafton was one of the Queens closest and oldest friends and attending her funeral would have been very important to her

I await seeing your list in January if you do decide to enter with interest!

Just sent in my three Crumble Teams and boy was there some painful pruning and drops. Managed to resist being over ruthless and kept some cherished names but my God did I see saw about in out in out shake it all about but still can't decide if I want you in or out.... in some ways a story and metaphor for my life!! Indecision can be really energy consuming but hopefully the changes will bear fruit!

@The Old Crem In relation to rule 3 I would like to seek some clarification please because that rule taken at face value would exclude any celebrity who becomes a parent via surrogacy. So what are the rules of this pool please regarding picks or names who go the surrogacy route? Because if this pool had been held a year ago names like Liz Kendall and Lance Bass would have been excluded. There are also plenty of famous people I could imagine going this route in the near future. Especially as there are a record number of out gay mps in the UK. Eg Wes Streeting, Luke Pollard, Peter Kyle and Lee Rowley. Not that surrogacy is the exclusive preserve of gay men eg Kim Kardashian. Also I suppose similar points apply to adoption?

Lady Gabriella Kingston , daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent so formerly Lady Gabriella Windsor, is 41 next year and I feel would be a good name for contestants in this pool to consider.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10312579/Emma-Louise-Connolly-PREGNANT-Model-expecting-child-Oliver-Proudlock.html British reality television star Oliver Proudlock of Made in Chelsea fame and his wife model Emma Louise Connolly have announced they are expecting their first child.

https://people.com/parents/chris-pratt-katherine-schwarzenegger-pregnant-expecting-second-baby-exclusive/ American actor Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of Arnie, are expecting their second child together.

I am now sure of 95% of the names I want to add to my teams but I'm struggling with which names I need to remove from the existing list to make room for them. There are some names I am quite attached to like Loretta Lynn!!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10314589/Benedict-Cumberbatchs-sister-dies-cancer-heartbroken-actor-pays-tribute-gifted-artist.html The older sister of Benedict Cumberbatch, 62 year old artist Tracy Peacock , has died from cancer.

In the first ten minutes of this video 72 year old Lady Colin Campbell reveals that she almost died in 2016 due to unspecified serious health problems. She may or may not be perfectly OK now because details are not forthcoming but I thought it worthwhile bringing it to deadpoolers attention. Especially as she says she was quite ill for the best part of a year.
