Streuth......NO...it was a hoax...you were taken in....go and sit in the corner and feel silly.

I do wish that somebody would have the courtesy of explaining what it is that they are asking! I must have read about 537 questions on this site from people asking "is it true about Michael Aspel?" or "is it true about Michael Aspel's children?" as if we somehow have the slightest clue what they are talking about!

Is WHAT true about Michael Aspel?!?!?!?

(Quite apart from the annoyance which is being caused by the same question being asked so many times by people who can't be bothered to notice that it has already been asked before!)

[end of rant]

Bernardo, there was a spoof television documentary shown about two months ago (previously shown on sky)which promised to tell the truth about Michael Aspel.

In it he was portrayed as a hard-headed businessman and mega-serial womaniser (charming and irresistable to the ladies) who had fathered numerous illegitimate offspring, who he then helped into showbiz by pulling strings in the corridors of power.

It was mildly entertaining and had Michael 'owning up' to all of his infidelities whilst pruning roses and being very, very polite.

Oh! Thanks gazzawazza :-)
