Tumble on the Towpath for Sophie Ellis-Bextor

[IaninSheffield]

On Tuesday night. Look like a quite an off. That road rash probably stings a bit, but good to see she's OK.

If only she was wearing a helmet.

She could have been. A lot of people wear them so lose that they ride back on their heads and leave their foreheads exposed.

BTW - have you noticed that her speaking voice is exactly the same as her mum's?

I'm afraid her mum came to Blue Peter after I'd been seduced across to Magpie by Jenny Hanley's charms. What can I say; I was young, callow even. 😥

ISTR she was the reason Janet Ellis was dumped from Blue Peter. Biddy Baxter, the the undisputed matriarch of the programme, did not approve of single motherhood.

Edit: no, she has an older brother

Not according to Wikipedia
"It is commonly believed that Ellis was sacked from the programme for being unmarried and pregnant with son Jackson, but in recent years Ellis has stated that she was fully supported by the Blue Peter production team and the decision to leave the programme was her own."

I’ve enjoyed watching her weekly kitchen disco.
(Sorry, there’s no punchline, it’s the truth.)

Hmmm. 1987. "Janet" has a son, names him "Jackson". That's either unfortunate, or is some sort of family in-joke.

p.s. think you misread Wiki - Sophie is the eldest of the 3. <starts googling for younger sister ... >

I had a peek and ( apart from glam megastar mum) it looks like a pretty normal chaotic but charming household . Those kids are not lifestyle statements.

Was he, one they made earlier ?

I feel like you've been waiting patiently for that opportunity since the thread started!
