Very sad to hear that LindaJan has passed away. Judging by the comments on here it seems she was thought of very fondly by you all. Condolences to her family. RIP

What a treat! It looks a fantastic show, just the sort of thing I like. Thanks ValR for the lovely videos.

Really enjoyed reading all the posts about Sponge Bob! The reviews are very good and it sounds like an uplifting production. It just shows how versatile Gareth is to be able to take on something like this and who knew he could tap dance!

Happy New Year to you all. xx

Loved watching this clip of Loose Women. I never watch it now and missed his appearance on the panel. I thought Gareth came across as a thoroughly nice guy and I genuinely think the panel liked him too.

Really good to hear it was the best panto you’ve seen Gareth in. I would have loved to see it, but a bit far at this time of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed scrolling through Neil Hurst’s instagram page. Lots of Gareth videos from lockdown etc. brought back lots of memories too. Thank you for including the link and I’m glad I didn’t miss it this time!

Lovely photo Dorral. Gareth certainly looks like he’s lost weight, but I think he’s a naturally thin person!

So lovely to look back on 20 years ago when Pop Idol took over our lives. We lived in a different house then and we so enjoyed our Saturday nights then watching Pop Idol. We thought Gareth was going to win that night and it was such a disappointment that he was pipped to the post by Will. There hasn’t been anything like it since even the X Factor or Britain’s Got Talent. Pop Idol gripped the whole country and we chattered about it at work. I can’t imagine a TV programme being like this again as there are so many other TV channels to watch now.

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2022. xx

Hope everyone is enjoying Christmas. All the best for 2022 xx

Thanks for posting these reviews. I enjoyed reading them and it sounds like we’re missing a treat.

Enjoyed reading your review Eternal. They are really good photos too. Thanks for sharing.

Missy seems a confident performer, just like her dad! Enjoyed watching this. Thanks

Nice photos of Gareth. Lovely to see him back at work and the areas of the ship too. Looks fabulous.

I agree with you all about mask wearing too. I wear a mask always to go in shops. I don’t use public transport at the moment, but would wear a mask if I did. My husband and I had a conversation today about how everyone seems to have gone back to normal as though nothing has happened over the past 18 months except for some people our age. We commented on how it’s affected us as a couple and personally and we realize how our own world has shrunk over this time. We must get back to our normal activities before too long as I fear we might lose the confidence in our own abilities. 18 months ago I never would have thought that I would feel like this, it’s a strange feeling!!
