’All publicity is good publicity’ is obviously a key phrase at
Rubberstuffers - the charity that had everyone up in arms the other
month with its ’gay sex’ TV ad.
It recently threw a party in London’s West End to say thank you to its
agency, Mitchell Patterson Grime Mitchell, and everyone involved in its
PR.
There was plenty of drinking and dancing, and two of the stars of the
commercial, Alistair Barton and Nancy Sorell, turned up to make sure the
night went well. Barton, who plays the young half of the homosexual
couple in the ad, proceeded to confuse everyone by flirting outrageously
with Sorell.
Far be it for us to gossip, but perhaps he’d taken her appearances in
the Sun’s ’Dear Deirdre Photo Casebook’ - her previous starring role -
too literally.
