12:18PM Clem Bastow | The Daily Mail today are running one of those “they ain’t ‘alf orright, them celebs” style
pieces where they interview ‘the work’ to get the inside scoop on what it’s like creating corsetry for Mariah Carey or working as a PA to Pete Burns, and so on and so forth.
Most of them involve reminiscences of the “She was very nice”/”He was a nightmare” variety and are as such interchangeable with most other features on the same topic.
We were, however, quite taken with the excerpt from Devon plumber Steve Pickton, who was pleased to find himself on an emergency call to a lady who looked quite familiar:
“Cor, she looks just like Keira Knightley!” I thought to myself as the woman who’d called herself Mrs Stewart when she called me out opened the front door.
A few hours later, I told her I thought she looked just like the famous actress and she told me: “Yes, I am Keira Knightley.”
During the week I worked at her house, I saw Keira in her floral nightie and without any make-up, but she was still very pretty.
I also saw her eat plenty of things like soup and sandwiches.
Soup and sandwiches! Steve goes on and describes Knightley as a “darling” and just makes us like her even more.
Keira “Mrs Stewart” Knightley,
flat-chested girls and the plumbers of the world salute you! And if that isn’t true success, we don’t know what is.
