Died of natural causes, yet slipped and fell and hit her head? Interesting use of the term... Depends. Quite likely she had a stroke, which caused her to fall. That's how my granddad went.

Scraggy Taters 290 Posted August 4, 2015 With Cilla being from Liverpool will natural causes include drugs, stabbings and shootings? Indeed ! When they open Cillas coffin, both her legs would very likely have been replaced with bricks. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted August 5, 2015 Cilla's funeral should be a good opportunity to see the UK showbiz establishment at play. In particular who looks frail, who doesn't turn up and who had you completely forgotton about. I think they should show it live during an episode of Loose Women. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imelda 621 Posted August 7, 2015 This week's Popbitch has a special Cilla section that makes for interesting reading... >> Blind hate << A rather fishy tale You may have wondered – what with all the glowing tributes to have poured in this week – how someone so loved by her celebrity peers could get so little telly work in her later years. One reason for it seems to be that someone high up at ITV blackballed each and every attempt Cilla made to get back on screen. Why? Because the exec in question started out as a runner. On Blind Date. One early task was to fetch Cilla some salmon sandwiches for her and some guests. The runner got the nicest smoked salmon sarnies they could find. But all they got for their efforts was a bollocking from Cilla in front of her guests as she only liked tinned salmon, not smoked. ------------------------------------Cilla had a collection of about 300champagne flutes – all of which shepilfered from various green roomswhenever she made TV appearances.------------------------------------ >> Brotherly love << ...but not for Cilla You may not have heard of the Patton Brothers, but they are the Chuckle Brothers' brothers – the other double act to emerge from that generation of the Chuckle family. Someone who's done a fair bit of work with the Patton Brothers says they're consummate pros: hard-working, mild-mannered, and couldn't be more pleased for their other brothers' success. They also refuse to tell tales or say anything snide about anyone they've ever worked with. Except for Cilla Black, that is - who they described simply as being "a cunt". ------------------------------------Cilla appeared in panto in 2008 backin Liverpool. She loved her old townso much that she had a condition inher contract that rehearsals wereto be held in London.------------------------------------ >> Bad altitude << Turning the air blue Cilla's in-flight attitude was the stuff of legend, and cabin crew all over the world have been sharing their memories of serving Cilla in first class. She would always demand to sit in seat 1A, and would never talk to a flight attendant, issuing her many orders solely through her PA. One flight attendant grew so tired of her behaviour that he leaned over to speak to her directly and uttered the immortal line: "I knew you couldn't sing, but I didn't know you couldn't fucking speak". 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,741 Posted August 7, 2015 Interesting about Cilla, I had a vague recollection when her death was reported.... about her doing something I found pretty distasteful with regard to her son when he ran over and killed a motorcyclist (using her celebrity to try and change the court case or summat), so have always had a nagging doubt the woman was not quite the face she put in front of the camera, but couldn't find anything so shelved the idea of repeating it here unsubstantiated. On looking again I see the mirror has something about it from yesterday but not the part I was looking for. That popbitch site of yours has a link to a facebook page about trolly dolly celeb encounters both good and bad, Cilla does not come out of that well either. It's here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted August 17, 2015 Shouldn't the thread title say "TV presenters" just to be clear? Someone might think you're talking about, you know, animals sticking their arses out asking to be fucked or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted August 25, 2015 So with Jimmy Tarbuck, Bob Carolgees, Paul O Grady, Christopher Biggins and Kenny Lynch at Cilla's funeral it reads like the worst summer season at some washed out East coast seaside resort EVER. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
