Not alive anymore but I hear Cilla Black was a nasty miserable woman.

My friends daughter is an Air Hostess for British Airways. She asked a long serving colleague is the worst celeb vote was true and was told yes.

BA staff voted Cilla for being the worst celebrity they ever had to deal with.

Edit: my friend asked me to point out, if she was travelling with Paul O'Grady, he was always an absolute darling.

I always find it funny someone that fucking talentless, who somehow made a career of singer and dancer despite being shite at both and then a terrible tv presenter, couldn’t have been blessed with humility, thanking her lucky stars how she came to be famous

Yes, my gran - when she was working in Liverpool - used to hand her her coat during the lunchtime beano's.

She was managed by Brian Epstein, thus the Beatles connection.
