5 as well (Osborne, Walsh, Nkita (as GAB watches Strictly), Fern Britton (who ca 1980 was on our local TV region reading the news and was distinctly comely) and Ekin-su (as one of the young wombles watches Love Island). Never watched CBB and don't intend to start now. Watched the first series of BB many years ago but soon gave up as subsequent series were peopled entirely by irritating fame whores.

Not sure how any Brit can be unaware of Levi Roots.

 

Probably the most famous Dragon’s Den success story in its 19+ year run. Reggae reggae sauce is also stocked in pretty much every supermarket now.

Four - Sharon and Louis, Fern, Levi Roots. Have heard of 'Ekin-Su', but had no idea who or what they were.

 

Impressed that out of a pretty large ensemble cast they've still managed to get someone from Heartstopper that even fans of the show struggle to recognise.

Simple, by not watching Dragon's Den or buying his product.

Aware of the sauce in fairness (and bought it once years ago) but if I've ever heard his name I've long since forgotten it..

Same, minus the aware of the product (I wasn't).

It's practically a religion with me to buy nothing but own brand, I skip ads as if my life depended on it too.

Hardeep Singh Kohli (CBB series 22) charged with sex offences: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66454248

I see Hardeep Singh Kohli appeared in court, made no plea and was released on bail.

 

The wheels of justice grind slow...

When you say it's a religion, do you mean that it's very easy to come to the conclusion that the practice is absolute fucking madness?

Well, if I can manage to be serious long enough and you aren't just taking the piss, both of which can hardly be guaranteed....

 

In reality, I have zero time for religion and think they are all dangerous. If you need a supreme being of any description to ensure you "do as you would be done by" you're saying that by default you'd hurt others without this fear and at best I'm unimpressed.

I also have zero time for paying for the advertising, that I hate, for a product that is no better and often worse than the own brand alternative.

 

If you are actually saying what you appear to be saying that both religion and own brand are fucking madness, then I'm 50% with you.

 

On reflection, I'm not serious, and you are taking the piss.

If not a pick for the DDP this year, I do think he was previously picked.

 

But I'm about to sit down for my dinner, someone else might do the quick search.

It doesn't seem so. From a scan of similarly-surnamed picks since he first entered the public eye in 2013, only one time has any Gibley been picked - his now-deceased father in 2017.

The only Gilbey was Pete Gilbey in 2017 (see above), as far as I can see

Pete McGarry was his stepfather who died in 2021 and was a hit that year. 

 

Surprised with the amount of articles calling him his dad.

A man has been arrested in connection with Gilbey's death. Gilbey fell from a height while at work.
