My boyfriend is an arse.
Let me begin by saying that the Prince Consort of Cheesecake likes to tell lies. Most of which I believe, because they're always worryingly plausible. So perhaps it was no surprise that he managed to spread an urban legend.

Jeremy Beadle, of tiny-handed fame, lost much of his flid-hand as it was mangled in a shark attack.*

Having no reason to doubt this explanation- I was kicking myself for thinking it must have been a birth defect!- I gleefully repeated it to everybody else I knew. Soon enough, it spread like wildfire. Months later, people were repeating it to me as fact. Imagine my dismay when I found out it was a lie.

He also told me Richard Whitely was dead practically every week. Once it came true. Now he tells me Bruce Forsyth has died.



*This sounded more plausible when he said it. Honest.
