Tony Blair Upstaged: Will Konnie Leave BP First?



Just as Tony Blair leaves for pastures new, so the journalist who bookended his career, with a sideline as a Mirror page three girl, Konnie Huq is to leave Blue Peter. Big sis Rupa Huq has invited me to join Konnie's new facebook Fan Club. In fact Ms K Huq answers for eight groups, so far. I expect Tone has some too.

These two lovebirds are mirroring madly, grinning goofily, and their knees are touching aren't they? Does Cherie Booth QC know about this long standing relationship?

Are they eloping? Do you have a firm lobby briefing on this? Can I put that on my blog?

Hi, Chris, there's several groups with our kid in the name including "Konnie is Amazing" (50 members), "Konnie Huq will never Leave Blue Peter" and most alarmingly "F*** the Huq". I joined the new one yesterday as it only had 5 members but it's more than doubled since then. There is even an "Everybody hates Konnie" group. You know you've made it when you've got one of those.

Hi Rupa

I found eight including those you mention. But I didn't like to. Especially the bloopers rhyming slang. And I didn't even print one of those pap pics of her falling out of her dress, or the last Daily Mirror page three appearance.

I think your kingston link is the same as my eight groups link?

Best w

Iain: is that really you? No picture ... Anyway, yes this is gospel. Konnie Huq did bookend the Blair career with penetrating interviews, they are mirroring, they are touching, they are doing saucy grins together ... and both are spookily riding off into the sunset at the same time. You make of it what you will.

Hi Chris... third time I'm trying to post to this... 1st was 24 hours ago. Anyway I agree with your comments to the offending group with F and my surname in the title. As I told Martin Rathfelder when he pointed out their existence to me you are spot on in your wall post. They are short sighted not because they have set their sights on the wrong Huq but that there are quite frankly if you are into blokey one-handed-action... there are easier ways of going blind. Phew! Hope it works this time and yes our lists were identical; I was hasty in posting and thought that to do a second vrey quickly after was... just a bit Chris Paul-esque for me.
