I find it fascinating how some celebrities manage to acquire such a bad reputation. I suspect a lot of it is largely undeserved.
The fact is we've all had our run-ins with atrocious customer service, and on stressful days, we might lose our cool. That's fine as a nobody, but once you're famous, there'll always be some bitter employee seeking revenge, or an onlooker all too happy to invade your privacy, film the whole she-bang, and shop you to the tabloids.
As for dealing with all the endless requests from Joe Public for autographs and selfies and who want to be your bestie, I don't know how they stand it.
I know if I were famous, I'd be just like Cilla, ignoring everyone and getting my hubby to deal with them. I can't be doing with sycophants, and sorting those from genuinely nice people must become quite exhausting.

The problem is there’s barely a person in British telly (or I suspect other areas) who’s not got a James Cordon horror story. You can’t be a diva and throw screaming tantrums on every single show you work on and not get a reputation.

Whether true or not, he just seems a bit much ... despite his talents.

I've never seen him (either on stage or TV) in anything other than One Man Two Guvnors. I went into that with quite a negative view of him based on comments I'd heard but I thought that entirely separately from the play he had a genuinely charismatic stage presence. It is very rare, very few performers I've seen have had it, Peter O'Toole was one.

I think the world of entertainment is big enough for a few divas. As long as they have the talent to go with it I’m fine with it.
