Turns out that when you’re a public figure you just can’t keep a secret these days. British author, comedian, TV host, raconteur, and man whose smooth, silken voice narrates a good portion of my inner monologues, Stephen Fry has let slip that he’ll soon by tying the knot. React.
Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag. I’m very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding. Fat chance!

‘Course good news also travels fast to the media, who were quick to dispatch journalists to the QI hosts house, much to his bemused chagrin.
Couple of journos parked outside my place. Wonder what I should do? Have said “nothing to say thanks” but they’re still there. Hmmm.

Some good suggestions as to what to do with my door-stepping journos. Everything from sandwiches to Rottweilers. Maybe coffee is the answer.

Grrr. Number of journos outside has now doubled. They obviously heard about the free coffee. Perhaps that was a mistake!

Still, the overwhelming opinion is one of “THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER AND TRUE LOVE EXISTS, IT EXISTS.” And thus this blessid union of souls is reason for much rejoicing. We can only imagine the happy couple are blissfully skipping down an English country road somewhere softly humming “He likes me for me” to themselves.
Thank you all SO much for your kind congratulations. Deeply touched xxx
