Be Excellent To Each Other

So!
Which "famous" person did I see in Tesco yesterday, and rudely strike up conversation with while they were trying to shop?

Clue: It's not Dimrill (or any Beexer).
Clue: The person has success in their field on both sides of the Atlantic, so I think it's fair to call them famous.

Craig Charles?
Sarah Ferguson?

Sorry -

Was it a male man?

Are they a singer?

No she's not a man, and no she's not a singer.

18 questions left!

If you'd said last week I'd have gone for "The Internets Famous Dr Richard Gaywood" (TIFDRG)

As its 20 questions , is their area of expertise acting ?

No!
17 questions!

So, it's a she. And not a singer.

Is she British?

Yes!

(Now, here we have to discuss the rules. Some people don't count a 'yes' question as a question. I do. So...)

16 questions!

Is she a TV presenter?

Yes!

15!

[edit]Wikipedia lists her as a 'television personality'.

Sharon osbourne

No.

14!

Is she aged 35 or older?

Is she a TV chef?

Has she been a news or sports reporter at some time?

If so wouldnt her Wikipedia page list her as such rather than a TV Personality ?

Was it Dani Behr?

Not necessarily, if Wikipedia lists her as a "chef and television personality" and Grim... is selective quoting.

She is over 35, she is not a reporter, and she is not a chef.

11!

Whats she famous for in America , and Wikipedia lists her as :



Whereas Grim... specifically said she was not a singer.

Not Dani Behr!

10!

Cat Deeley

I was just guessing Zapod, it's only a game

Anne Robinson would qualify! (though I assume you wouldn't stop her to chat..)

Not Cat Deeley. I'm not sure if you were asking about Anne Robinson, so I'll let that one slide, especially as I don't think she's famous in the US.

9!

does she present a factual tv show, eg, like gmtv/x factor?

Is it Victoria Coren?

Yes she presents a factual TV show, although neither of them. They're factual?

It's not Victoria Coren.

7!

If it was Cat Deeley, Victoria Cohen, or Dani Behr, we wouldn't be playing 20 questions, Grim... would be shouting "I fucking saw Dani Behr last night!". Pick someone less fit.

Was she famous for something else before becoming a TV personality?

Er, no. She does the job she always did, but on TV.

6!

Would you?

Does this person do a job involving a home or garden?

Nope and nope (well, it involves homes and gardens, but only because they are there).

4!

Is it that bloody supernanny woman?

Top job, sir.

Yes indeed. I asked her if she could make the Grimlet sleep and she said "no-one can make children sleep". Then she said hello to him (calling herself 'Jojo'), and carried on with her shopping.

She's a big girl in real life.

Anaesthetists beg to differ.

She's a big girl on TV!

Well done, EoaE.

Who?

Top work, EoaE!

Wow. The combination of lateral thinking and exposure to duff TV has finally paid off

Jo Frost.

Also: Is it Dimrill?

I should probably have kept quiet after the "Television Personality" clue, given that I don't watch TV.

I wouldn't have got this.

feex

Who, as in "I've never heard of her" not as in "I would like to know who this person is"

"Is it Dimrill" as in "he already said it wasn't Dimrill".

Dimrill.

Sandy Toksvig.

I'll see your Jo frost, and raise you one of the Dorothy contestants who got kicked off in the early rounds, standing outside a pub on Tuesday afternoon, in London.

Starstruck I was...
