GOSSIP - Steve Coppell

[Sarah Star]

What's all this about Nigella Lawson having dreams about Steve Coppell and Charles Saatchi saying he was a 'balding little gnome'?

I know it's all a bit silly, but my father-in-law's been going on about all day, laughing and trying unsuccessfully to find the article in the Mail on Sunday.

It's in the MaiLOL online: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/you/article-1059532/Nigella-Lawson-Return-domestic-goddess.html

Not that it tells you anything more than you have already said.

Oh is that all! I thought maybe he'd been on the pills again.

he may be a balding gnome, but he's our balding gnome

And she adds, amused, 'Charles dreamt I had an affair with Steve Coppell.' Coppell is Reading's manager, a balding, gnome-like figure. 'You know when someone wakes up in a bad mood with you and you haven't done anything? I said to him, "Thanks a lot! You might have made it Mourinho!"'

Doesn't seem like Royals fans need to hold anything against Nigella or Charles Saatchi... the "balding, gnome-like" description was put in by the writer of the article.

Although Nigella is quoted in the article as supporting Chelsea so if anybody feels they need a feeble excuse for disliking her based on her own personal preferences, I guess that'd be it.

There's certainly something I'd like to hold against Nigella...

Coppell's reply:
"The sad thing is she never thought it - it was him! He had wished it on her, which must have peed her off big time. We had a laugh about it, although I didn't like being called a balding gnome!
Coppell manages to laugh it off - incidentally it was the magazine journalist who made the unkind gnome reference.

Well that's it. I'm never going to the Saatchi gallery again and they can whistle for my money.
