Stud Marks: We won't lie to you, another famous fan signs up for Aston Villa
STUD Marks won’t lie to you, after Tom Hanks and Prince William, Villa seem to have added Gavin and Stacey star ‘Nessa to their growing ranks of celebrity supporters. Tidy.
Whether it’s Welsh defender James Collins’ superb start to life at Villa Park or what, Martin O’Neill’s men have attracted the famous fan from the Valleys.
In a recent episode of the BBC’s hit sitcom, set in Essex and South Wales, ‘Nessa (played by actress and co-writer Ruth Jones) revealed her claret and blue allegiances.
Trying to remember a drunken liaison with Smithy, her former lover and father of her baby, she recalls: “He was completely naked, I was in my Aston Villa strip!”
By complete coincidence Smithy (fellow actor and co-writer James Corden) was at Old Trafford to witness Villa’s win over Man United, so maybe he’s been converted too.
Just Uncle Bryn to work on now...
