Celebrity Mastermind

[maxieblue]

Watching Celebrity Mastermind this week and saw Mel Smith. Has he had a stroke, or some form of facial paralysis - like Bell's palsy. I found him difficult to understand at times. Not at all like I remember him

loads of previous questions and speculative answers on this one maxieblue.
He really didn't sound himself but no one on here knows for sure what it is = poor chap.

actually a few people do know and have answered the post several times, he has the start of parkinsons disease

[maxieblue]

Thanks guys. Such a shame. Brave man still appearing though - inspiration to us all.

actually gina, there is no evidence of that which is why i said it is speculative. hope he picks up soon - he is great.

actually baileybird griff rhys jones had already commented in an earlier tv interview that he had the start of parkinsons

[baileybird]

sorry gina, by your tone i have clearly upset you - perhaps you would like to post me a link to Griff Rhys Jones' interview so i can eat humble pie .- thanks - I was only saying it is speculative as I cannot find any supporting evidence. You obviously can and I am sorry for annoying you.

Whatever he's suffering from, it was really very sad to see him like that.

not upset at all and if i can find a link i will gladly post it, didnt mean to annoy you either
