Especially among the fans of West Ham United.Oonagh Robinson reckons that he must be the nicest bloke ever to appear on the programme. There’s a long and detailed piece in the Manchester Evening News, quoting Simon’s cringe of recognition that he resembled David Brent. The father-of-one said: "I completely unravelled. I f***** it up basically. I’m not completely delusional.
