The Ring Cycle

‘WHEN the movie of eight-times married Ron Sheppard’s life is made, Darren Day is a shoo-in for the part as the incurable romantic.

Amanda – meaning ‘to be loved’

If deftness with a ring, Cliff Richard’s teeth and the ability to say ”I love you” with conviction to a string of different women are prerequisites for the job, we’re sure five-times engaged Day will be make the role his own.

But who will play the lovely 26-year-old Filipina Weng Platino, wife No.8, who, as the Express reports, yesterday tied the knot to the 56-year-old romancer?

Tracy Shaw would be our first choice but, since she’s heavily pregnant (and probably not speaking to her former fiancé), we are forced to look elsewhere.

And that means looking at Amanda Holden.

The elfin actress, who to rave reviews played the younger spouse to older Les Dennis for a number of years, is our preferred option.

Indeed, she’s already getting into character in the Sun, trying on all manner of wedding meringues as she prepares to marry music producer Chris Hughes.

The Sun says that ”friends and family” have been told to expect the news of Amanda’s wedding today – flattering indeed to us at Anorak who have long held Amanda to be one of our own.

So with the cast lined up, all that’s left is for Amanda (Weng) and Darren (Ron) to do is to commit to the project – at least until a better offer comes along…’
