Can you match the Scots national treasure to the hashtag?
21 December 2018
As is tradition at this time of year, Robert Florence has taken a look back at the highs and the lows of the last 12 months. According to him, it hasn’t all been bad.
“There is some good news,” he explained in The State of 2018. “After a few years of relentless showbiz deaths, celebrity departures stabilised in 2018.”
So, instead of a maudlin end segment, the comedy host honoured the Scot celebrities who didn’t pass away #stateofournationaltreasures.
So who made the list? Here are some of the hashtags, but you have to guess to whom each refers:-
-
#kellyaffthetelly
-
#duchessofwark
-
#tennisledge
