Michelle & Andy Scott-Lee have split up...

Owww, Thats sad. Like you say I didn't like (or know)either of them - she always seemed really dippy and controlling/jealous and he seemed a bit of a lad/ladies man. Shame though, they seemed to make a nice couple.

I thought their honeymoon show gave a good indication that it wasn't going to last.

That's a shame, I'm always sad to hear when a couple have split. I suppose we can't know what problems they were having, but it's a shame if they couldn't work them out.

I didn't see the honeymoon one, but did catch a bit of the wedding episode. She was talking about how they hadn't had sex that night, but she 'did' something out of the ordinary for him the week before, as his wedding pressie?! I was gobsmacked. Her Mother must be so proud ?

Did she let him in the back door?

Haven't they recently had a baby too?

Andy's Sister Lisa had a baby recently. Shame they split up, they've neen together for ages ☹️

She didn't actually say, but that's certainly the conclusion I (and probably thousands of others) came to anyway ?

Can't say that'd be something I'd be admitting to on National TV anyway... ?

That was Lisa Scott-Lee, Andy's sister. Think she had a little boy called Jayden Shentall-Lee.

Really? Are people genuinely sad about yet another orange "sleb" pair splitting up? Crikey. I get sad about friends plitting up, or people dying, or cruelty.

You think? ?

I have to say I wasn't surprised - other than that it lasted as long as 18 months. I saw a documentary with the two of them and she came across as a really nasty piece of work and basically walked all over him and he didn't seem to even like her that much. The only thing they seemed to have in common was their particularly D-list shade of orange.

I have to admit I feel sad when I hear about anyone splitting up, whether it's a celebrity couple, a hitcher and her OH or a couple I know. Of course, the degree of sadness varies - I can't say I'm bawling my eyes out about Michelle and Andy Scott-Lee, but I can't help but feel that it's a shame that things didn't work out for them the way that they must have hoped it would when they got married.

WWS.
Are these even slebs? They do naff all.

My immediate thought was ‘who’. After googleing I’m still non the wiser.

[sigh] I really am turning in to an old fart.

Call me cynical, but I'm more inclined to feel sad for the couples who seem genuine about their marriage and don't buy into the magazine deals, not the ones who get mega-bucks from OK and the like to splash their pictures to the world. I think that as soon as they get their magazine deal, it stops becoming a marriage and more of a show to out-do whoever is featuring next week. I honestly don't think they even thought about the marriage after the wedding [shrug]

WSS. Who gives a monkeys, really?

I don't know what happened there, I meant to quote Mrs W ?

WSS - no idea who either of them are!

Nor me!

Thank god for that ..... I thought I was the only Hitcher on the entire site who hadn't a clue who these people are!

Can't say it keeps me up at night ?, but it's no different that a hitcher coming on and saying "My best friend and her husband split up last night", and everyone saying "oh no, how sad".

None of us know them do we? But we still talk about it.

I get a little annoyed if I'm honest, when people constantly say "Who gives a monkey's" when anyone writes anything about a celeb on here. It smacks of "I'm better than you cos I don't read OK mag [or similar]". It's just something to talk about. It's not life or death, we all know that. It's no different, in my opinion, than people talking about their friends/neighbours arguments/splits. We don't know any of them but it's OK to chat about them?

I saw a very small amount of this but couldn't believe how badly she was treating him on their honeymoon so not overly surprised they have split up.

I don't agree. This endless obsession with celebrity is bordering on sinister. Why does anyone really NEED to know about them? Even worse, some people think they have a right to know.

At least with Hitched you have some kind of personal connection with people, even if it is remote.

She didn't seem to crack a smile very often did she? Especially considering it was her honeymoon ?

Again, I don't agree (not totally anyway).

I'd hardly call this thread 'bording on sinister' ?.

In many respects the thread evolved into talking about a programme that was on TV. Yes, it focussed on celebrity, but then many programmes do nowadays. Even news presenters have been 'celebrities' in some respects. I think it's very difficult to avoid.

It was simply a story I had read, and commented on. I find people only ever respond with 'who gives a monkeys' on these threads, which I find a little harsh. There are plenty of other trivial threads that people don't find it neccessary to reply with comments like that on.

For example BB. There will be countless threads over the next few months, but people don't get arsey on those. They reply with jokey comments, and don't ridicule those who do reply on them. I just find threads like these are easy targets on occasion.

Mabye I'm being a bit touchy today though ?.

I sort of agree with Minx, I do think things that are celebrity related tend to get snipey comments for snipey's sake sometimes.

It's an old cliche but it's an old chiche for a reason, if these sort of threads bother people so much just avoid them. Not all threads are going to interest everybody, unless someone is being rude or offensive I tend to stay away from the ones that I think are boring. S'not difficult really.

I agree with HH but I don't think things will change, there'll always be someone objecting to others having an interest in all things celebrity. Afterall, that's what comes with being a celebrity surely?

I personally have no interest in the two people being mentioned here I put my hand up and admit to being interested in certain stories. Surely that's human nature?

I don't think this thread is sinister MS, just the widespread celebrity obsession that turns no-hopers into tabloid stars for a matter of weeks.

Of course no one 'needs' to know, but in this case they had a fly on the wall series and magazine deal to do with their wedding and honeymoon so I think in this situation the separation is merely a follow on from that whether they like it or not, a kind of modern day "Live by the sword..." if you like. They made their relationship public property and I'm sure given half the chance one or both of them would appear somewhere to give their story of heartbreak and recovery. I can't say I'm bothered by the 'news', but I do have an interest having seen the show but it's in the same way I would react to the storyline in a TV show I watched, I wouldn't spend any time worrying about it. It would be entirely different if a hitcher I 'knew' shared similar news because of the slight connection which you mention. I'm not interested in the circumstances or what they do next, just interested in the fact that they have split up.

I only watched the wedding shows because they got married at the same place I did (although we didn't spend anywhere near the amount they did, no magazine deal or Jordan for bridesmaid for me!), not because I was interested in them as individuals. I don't really have a clue about most other things going on in the celebrity world these days. I have enough trouble remembering what's happening in my life to worry about the lives of strangers (this is more due to having a crappy memory than because of having a wildly exciting life I hasten to add).

I watched their show a few times and I thought she was an immature spoiled brat. I can't say I am surprised, as if you are having tantums on your honeymoon, where will you end up? Still, it is sad to hear that any marriage has ended.

For those who are interested, one or both of them will no doubt be selling their story to a 'celebrity' magazine soon. I am amazed at how people can be interested in such vacuous people - they aren't particularly talented or make much of a contribution.

Minx, I don't think it smacks of that at all. I think it smacks of people being incerdulous that someone would be "sad" about two non-slebs splitting up. That's certainly what my post smacked of.
