Arrange Me A Celebrity Marriage: Cerys Matthews And Marc Bannerman Are One
HEADLINES such as “CERYS: I’M DYING TO SEE MARC”, “Bits all over the front page” (both Mirror) and “Cerys: My celebrity soul mate Marc” (Express) may have created the impression that Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman are inseparable.
It’s another triumph for the reality TV show dating game. That forthright Scots Asian woman on BBC TV’s Arrange Me A Marriage should care to note that to find a love interest, Britons need not only copious doses of alcohol, recreational drugs and a secluded spot by the bins but also to perform before a myriad cameras.
So here’s more news of Cerys and Marc, the new Peter and Jordan, who were the old Chantelle and Preston, speaking of their undying love for one another.
As the Mirror says, “Both have signed big-money deals to talk about their burgeoning romance.” Indeed. But they have so far done their talking apart.
Cynics might suppose that it is all some kind of scam, especially those Mail readers who saw the headline “the celebrity love sham”.
But what matter if Marc and Cerys are in it for the fame and the money? They both want the same things, which makes them compatible.
That pushy woman on Arrange Me A Marriage might well nod. This is, after all, romance with a dowry…
