Where has Anthony's fizz gone?

He is usually fizzing all over the place but he seems very subdued to day. I thought it was because he was on with Jackie but he is the same with Flinty who usually gets him going.

I've just switched over to see him and think you're right.

He's not giggling or fiddling with the fabric as much as he usually does... I hope he's OK as he does seem a little quiet. Even Debbie can't bring him out of his shell today.

Who is Anthony?

I thought that when he was on with Jackie he seemed really p'd off and slightly irritated.

Who is Anthony?

Looking on his Facebook page it appears that a friend (Eydie Gorme/Lawrence) died last week so that is probably the explanation. I haven't seen any of the shows but I hope he's ok, he seems like a lovely man.

Antthony Hankins from Antthony Designs fashion range.

Tweet from Jackie Kabler:

"So lovely to work with NY designer @Antthony today who battled on under very difficult circumstances. Gorgeous man and a real trooper"

Didn't see the show and wondered what had happened when I saw her tweet.

Oh yes. The funny little black man with a high-pitched little laugh and the curly moustache. I'm sure he spells his names with 2 T's to be more individual!

He said on FB he now knows what a broken heart feels like.

He is talking about Eydie Gorme. She died about a week ago and I assume they were friends.

poor antthony always fun.. sad to see him lke this. all the best antthony x

He does seem really sad. Bless him :-(

I had no idea she died.She was a famous American singer and had an act along with her husband Steve Lawrence.My parents listened to their stuff so I sort of grew up on it They had hits over there independently but they played concert halls and Vegas alot. .Always seemed like a really nice couple of people..the twp of them. Anyway..thats who she was.

Eydie Gorme was a fabulous singer in her day and the song Passing Strangers which she sang with her husband was a favourite of mine years ago.

He seems his normal self again, on the Morning Shpw, giggling and laughing with Claire, hope he is being more jokey cause he wants to, and not the fact that powers that be at Q had words

So nice to watch the difference in him this morning, I felt uncomfortable watching him on the shows yesterday. I have to say though that it doesn't look like the humour is forced. When I've lost someone close in the past each day can be so different in the way I've felt. Some days you just want to hide away from everyone and other days life seems to be almost normal again. Grief can be a bit of a roller coaster in my experience. I've treated myself to a new top today, so I hope it fits as well as the previous items I've bought.
Word of advice with this range, the maxi dresses suit my height of 4ft 11ins where most maxis drape the floor on me!

Thanks for the tip Pandora, I'm only 5' (4'12" LOL) :wave:

Thanks for the tip Pandora. I'll avoid them as I'm 6ft!
