In keeping with today’s theme of ‘as random as a guinea pig water aerobics class’, here comes the news that comedienne Catherine Tate and Take That’s Jason Orange are apparently bumping genitals.
We’re not even going to try to figure out when or why this happened. Our guess is that Catherine attached herself to the first young pretty boy who didn’t repeat “AM I BOVVERED?!” at her as she filled her trolley with sausage rolls in Asda.
After being spotted out enjoying dates together, a source told The Sun: “They were trying to keep things secret but looked very loved up and happy together.
“It’s a very unlikely pairing but they have really hit it off. They’ve been on a number of dates to the theatre and the cinema. They really enjoy each other’s company. Catherine deserves someone nice and she has landed on her feet with Jason. But they have both been desperate to keep their romance secret.”
Apparently the pair first struck up a friendship when the ginge funny laydee took on the role of Jason in spoof band Fake That for a Comic Relief sketch. So from now on, for some bizarrely strange reason unknown to everybody including us, we’ll be following Catherine and Jason’s every single move as a dusty new couple, especially when they’re papped sucking face.
A therapist would probably say this is a way of holding onto the early 90s with both hands since life was so uncomplicated back then. And our rooms were full of posters of Take That we used to kiss before bedtime. It’s true. The most complicated thing we had to worry about back then was how to get home from a rave in a field after a friend left you staring at a glowing bunny sticker on the bathroom wall for 4 hours. Yes, that’s right, illegal drugs were involved.
