Reply to: Adrian Chiles

Whenever I see the porcine visage of Adrian Chiles, my mind conjures up the perfect image of someone to play Napoleon.

[minestrone]

I am reliably informed that she was in the chain of information. Nowt to do with Chiles.

It was Joe Brand that shopped her.

"Comedian Jo Brand, who was a guest on the show, denied that it was her." link.

"The agent of Jo Brand insisted she was not behind it." link.

For all she is just slightly left of centre, I cannot imagine Jo Brand - who makes a living being outrageously non-PC on stage - grassing someone up for an off-the-cuff remark. She seems too intelligent and capable of rational argument to need to do that.

Or is he any relation to Jo Brand?

He is quite good on his football but Jeff Stelling sh*ts on him from a great height in that department though.

Chiles is a greasy pole climber.

Why not ? I condemn all of the PC brigade. He was instrumental in the 'gollywog' incident that lost Carol Thatcher her job.

He was my neighbour (next door flat in same building in Kensington) a few years ago. Seemed a sound enough guy.

(They're all nauseatingly PC at the beeb. It goes with the job, so no particular reason to condemn him on that basis.)

Who is he?

(Google it? Too hard. Can you do it for me? Please? Thanks.)

[voodooflux]

He is well known for his support of West Bromwich Albion football club

And is therefore an excellent fellow.

Hasn't he left his missus for her?

Personal life

Chiles married Jane Garvey, now a regular presenter of Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4, in September 1998 in Swansea. Chiles and Garvey have two daughters (Evelyn born January 2000 and Sian born March 2003). In June 2008 it was announced that Chiles & Garvey had separated.[8] He is a Roman Catholic.[9]

He is well known for his support of West Bromwich Albion football club,[10] where he is a season-ticket holder and presenter on some of the club's official DVDs. Both of his cars have WBA in their registration and he has a stained glass West Bromwich Albion crest above his door. Chiles talks about West Brom in this interview. He also supports the Croatian national team, because of his Croatian mother. Chiles also plays the double bass, as revealed when he dueted with violinist Nigel Kennedy playing Fever on The One Show. On 7 May 2008 his co-presenter on The One Show, Christine Bleakley, sang part of a song with Chiles accompanying on piano. It has been rumoured that Chiles is romantically involved with Christine Bleakley, something which they have both denied.

Chiles was one of several BBC personalities sent soiled toilet paper by post in February 2007. He said of the incident, "The smell is not something you want first thing in the morning."[11]

He was a Greek hero of some sort, fought in the Trojan wars. Had a gammy foot or something
