Ever since a streamlined Vanessa Feltz was snapped out on the town
with her new beau, the tabloids have been scuffling to place his
face.
It now emerges that the cuddly character in question is Jon Sayers, an
’old friend’ and a media man.
The press may have seized on to the fact that Sayers growled and grunted
as the voice of the Honey Monster in the Sugar Puff TV ads, and that he
has worked in various agencies, but they have missed a much meatier
piece of gossip concerning Vanessa.
The Diary can reveal that the svelte Feltz started her illustrious
career as a reporter on the esteemed title, ±±¾©Èü³µpk10.
Ex-±±¾©Èü³µpk10 editor Bernard Barnett remembers her for being crap.
’Getting stories wasn’t her forte. It was pretty obvious this wasn’t
going to be her destiny - that she wasn’t going to spend the rest of her
life writing about baked bean campaigns.’ (Well it pays the rent -
Ed.)
’She claims that I fired her. That may be right, I can’t remember.’
But the question of whether Sayers and Feltz first grinded their ample
hips at some illustrious event such as the ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 Poster Awards goes
unanswered.
Sayers, who went from acting to writing commercials with a stint as
copywriter at Limbo and now runs his own radio production company, Boom!
Communications, is keeping schtum.
