Alright, it’s time to get to the bottom of this. Everybody wants to know Dave Fishwick’s net worth after watching him on telly and Netflix. The bloke’s gone proper famous, hasn’t he? My uncle owns a small business in Manchester, and he goes on about Dave all the time. “That’s how you do business,” he […]
So my sister called me up yesterday, properly worked up about something she’d read online. Did you see that woman who was married to Nick Knowles? That one who got into that big spat on Twitter? I hadn’t. But she told me anyway, because that’s what sisters do. Jessica Rose Moor has actually been trolled […]
I was glued to the telly during Beijing 2008, watching this absolute machine of a man break several world records on his bike. Chris Hoy is mad; three golds in one Olympic Games! My dad was repeatedly yelling at the screen: “Look at the legs on that lad!” And he was right. Those thighs were […]
Holly Flintoff is not yet a celebrity in her own right, but a family name across the globe as the oldest child of former England cricket captain and TV personality Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff and wife Rachael Wools Flintoff.

About three years ago, I saw Jack Grealish in the pub in Sutton Coldfield. He was just a good, down-to-earth lad. Talking to people, getting rounds in, and bantering with the locals. He was at the time after moving from Villa to Manchester City for a British record fee. Now, however, the same player has […]
Henry Pollock is one of the few names that has quickly and impressively made a name for himself in English rugby. In one season, Pollock became a promising young player. He turned into an England international, a British and Irish Lions tourist, and he earned an elite national contract. His path displays not just his […]
Last month I was scrolling through Instagram when my sister Jenny rang me up, absolutely buzzing with gossip. “Did you know that Luisa Zissman’s married to some proper loaded Irish bloke?” she asked. I hadn’t given it much thought before, but Jenny’s always been spot-on with celebrity stuff. So I started digging around, and blimey, […]
I’ve been a German football aficionado since the age of twelve. My bedroom wall was plastered with posters of Bayern Munich; Franz Beckenbauer was my idol. More than three decades later, I was sitting in a Munich beer garden last August, talking to locals about their football heroes. An elderly gent to my left leaned […]
So there I was last month, sprawled on Steve’s sofa with a takeaway and a beer, half-watching Celebrity Big Brother. Neither of us really cared who won, just having a laugh at the usual reality TV nonsense. Then they announced Jack P. Shepherd as the winner, and Steve goes, “Hang on, that’s David Platt!” Made […]
Yesterday, I was chatting to my mate Emma the other day; she works in telly production, and she goes, “Do you know who actually writes the stories for Coronation Street?” Of course, I didn’t have a clue. Turns out it’s not just one person with a massive imagination. There’s a whole team of storyliners behind […]
