Did he meet her in 'Weather' Field?

[anotheoldgit]

During the recent interview with Piers Morgan, I was surprised to learn that Corrie's Ken Barlow (Bill Roache) is dating TV weather girl Emma Jesson 40years his junior.

[hc4361]

That was widely reported in the press 2 years ago.

[atsgran]

I didn't know either

[deggers316]

i detect a sense of ageism there oldgit otherwise why mention his age??

[cathfromsaron]

boom boom, what a pun x

[Tizzi24]

So what? Good luck to him!

[missprim]

Groan at the pun....... but seriously do you believe he slept with as many women as he said he did and what must his children think about that.
Some things are best kept private.

[lardhelmet]

He even admitted to boinking Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner). Eewww - far too much information

[mightyWBA]

I never realised he was dating our local weather lady (Central news)..She's a fine filly.

[bundleone]

Piers was putting words in his mouth, he never actually said how many, and apart from Pat Phoenix didnt give out any names. And elderly people can fall in love.

[askyourgran]

Its been common knowledge that she was his 'companion' for a while now. Good luck to him, he's still presentable and looks fit at 80. Des O'Connor looks well too. Deggers, age is irrelevent, AOG never actually mentions his age anyway.

[lardhelmet]

For an 80 year old, he's still got big hair

[DTCwordfan]

Hail! his brain imust be clouded over and does she have a warm or cold front? Will they have a whirlwind marriage?

"40years his junior. "
as good as mentioning it gran !

[askyourgran]

Doesn't matter deggers he could have been sixty she 20, makes no odds. He doesnt look like a creaky old bloke.

I was a bit sceptical that he had slept with that many women - did he really keep count? I think it was frankly nothing to be proud of and must have been quite hurtful for his family. I doubt the number and now I look at him and think what a lecher!!

[andy-hughes]

Why?

[deggers316]

askyour gran
think you've read my first text wrong?
i'm actually sticking up for bill roache
yes lets hope all of us can be a fit as him when were 80, and my piont was why did AOG put in his question the fact that there is a 40 years between them,no it does not make any difference, attraction different in all of us ,

Piers Morgan was putting words into his mouth, he never actually said how many!

When I think back of my experiences with girls and women since I was 15/16 to now (over 65) and average it to 3/4 a month, it would be 100s and maybe for some women as well.

Its nothing to be ashamed of but, its what Men and Women are supposed to do, that's what sex is all about, to enjoy as long as you are careful!

/// i detect a sense of ageism there oldgit otherwise why mention his age?? ///

/// why did AOG put in his question the fact that there is a 40 years between them ///

I just cannot believe some people, what is wrong with putting their age difference, that is all part of the thread?

One might as well say why mention his girlfriends occupation?

I wonder if one of your 80 year old relations was dating a 18 year old girl, you wouldn't mention in conversation "she is 62 years his junior you know"?

[andy-hughes]

If she was eighteen, then it my be a cause for comment, but if she was forty-two, as Emma Jesson is, then I probably wouldn't think anything of it.
