Charlie + anagram of 'is in a'? But can't see a surname of anyone famous

[mallyh]

1 roald dahl?

[bobbinwales]

yes, another I considered but dropped... as someone said there are separate clues in there to the 2 parts of the name. Cant see where Roald comes from in there or where 'in a mess' fits in except Roald Dahl alway's look's like an anagram to me (Harold Lad)

[mallyh]

1 a very iffy answer.. terry plant ..a character in the movie friction ..terry's chocolate orange ..plant another name for a factory

[bhg481]

Does zalebond mean Charly Stayt - one of the BBC Breakfast presenters. And Stayt sounds like State ie, a mess.

[bobbinwales]

Well done bhg that will be right. Charlie Stayt

1. Charlie Stayt (Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and Stayt sounds like state - i.e. in a mess) Charlie Stayt is a TV breakfast presenter on BBC
2. Sally Nugent (new gent)
4. Rihanna (re (about) Anna (Karenina))

[bobbinwales]

Yes we all agree with Rihanna. I'm not sure why it keeps being given.
Sally Nugent is a new one though and an improvement IMO on Sally Bowles

[bobbinwales]

I can sort of see a case for REX Harrison now- he played Doctor Dolittle (least expected= do little)..... but am not sure why we the clue refers to another harrison then..
Maybe Least Expected at first is LE which sounds like Ellie.

Ellie Harrison presents Countryfile???
