If you had a Cheeky Girl to cuddle up to, you’d want to keep her by your 
side, wouldn’t you?
That’s certainly what Lembit Opik thought, there’s no point in being an MP if you don’t have influence! So he wrote to the Cheeky Girls’ MP Michael Foster and spoke to a Home Office minister when they faced deportation threats earlier this summer.
And Lib Dems are right behind lovestruck Lembit, saying he had shown “total propriety”. I wonder why the duo couldn’t contact their MP themselves, why Lembit needed to intervene.
And now Garbriela and Monica’s home country Romania is due to join the EU on January 1, it’s unlikely there will be any pressure on them to leave.
Did it ever cross Lembit’s mind that this was the reason Gabriela suddenly found him Mr Irresistible? Unless anyone else has any better ideas.
I love Gabriela’s perceptive quote too about pantomime love:
“Our relationship is really genuine and it’s not out of a pantomime or anything like that. We understand each other really well and we are looking for a long relationship here.”
Are they a match made in heaven, or will they be lucky to outlast the panto season – oh no they won’t!
Which one is Gabriela? I wouldn’t kick either of ’em out on a frosty night.
Jim, Good question, I have no idea, maybe someone else will know the answer, they look so alike.
I am sure neither of them would be able to resist your home made lasagne. Perhaps you should call Lembit and suggest meeting up for a foursome, though I am not sure the Cheeky Girls’ company would be as delightful as Darcy Bussell who you once entertained. You must have been very charming if she gave you a pair of her ballet shoes.
Ellee, I believe my son is getting another interview shortly, I’ll ask him to intercede on my behalf!
My heart goes out to Sian Lloyd. Seriously, can you imagine if your bloke left you for a Cheeky Girl? Nightmare.
My sources tell me that the relationship had been under strain for some time. It is probable that the Cheeky Girl thing is a symptom, not a cause.
I’m surprised Sian didn’t finish it after Lmbit revealed live on TV that she suffered from constipation whilst in the jungle doing I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here. I don’t suppose she found that too amusing.
Nimue, You know what they say about “good riddance …”, let’s hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Sian.
I think this relationship shows the real damage anorexia is capable of doing to a persons mind and body…
Sian Lloyd, the woman he dumped is a much better lady. She is better off without him.
You’d want to keep her by your side? Er … in my case, no. More than satisfied as it is.
Actually the BBC report makes clear that lembit had made clear that he knew her in a personal camapcity and that he had done nothing wrong.
Constrast that with the news that the Tories accepted £100,000 from the wife of a Syrian arms dealer who profited from the Al-Yamamah deal with the Saudis, brokered by the Tories in the 1980’s and it puts it in some perspective.
Nich, You must admit it is a great story for the festive season, you might like to post your comment here too, Guido explains it so well:

[…] And keen to establish herself as the perfect MP’s partner, she enjoyed a “Mad Friday” night on the town, as well as going shopping with two local newspaper photographers, gushing how friendly the local people were, how much she liked the area. […]
