Terrifying!  What on earth is going on in his head?

Also worrying, people are claiming this is a publicity stunt to boost Holly's ratings.  

There are bad and mad people out there

Looking at the pictures and with absolutely no knowledge of the man I'd say he was a fat loser virgin with fantasist tendencies who needs locking up.

 

I do know that this will run and run, unlike fatty.

probably angry at her pushing in when HM was lying in state.

'People' may be a journalistic device used to put a mentalist view where otherwise it woud be ridiculed.

 

Ms Willoughby has not need of support drumming.

Barry, the 'twitterati' are well-named.

I've been follwing this case - it is indeed most odd - I'm sure there's something we're not being told.

Inevitably that leads to cyberspace speculation (with me as guilty as any, with this remark I suppose).

lucky she escaped Jill Dando's fate. It's not always safe being a celebrity.

[barry1010]

I thought of Jill Dando, too.

I'm not sure the Twitterati exist now it's called X 🤔

[Old_Geezer]

Does that make them ex-twiterati ?

[Zacs-Master]

Possibly OG😂

I would hate to be famous and really can't understand anyone who wants to be.

I feel sorry for children of famous people growing up in the spotlight.  Even if they shun publicity and live private lives as adults the media seem to enjoy those 'where are they now' and 'whatever happened to' fluff fillers years later.
