I'm a long time listener and fan but new to this forum. I have also been wondering who Lin / Lynne is as she keeps getting mentioned more frequently. She has been helping him revise for Disastermind quite a lot, but on air this morning (around 8:50 I think - can't double check now) he said something about Lin being "in bed". Has she now moved in as his lodger to help with the mortgage cost on his mansion?

I think there is more to this than meets the eye, but if it was a 'secret' girlfriend why mention her name on air in the first place?


The following post was the one above yours:-

Chris has talked about Lin (I think he spelled it like that on Twitter but I might be making that up) a lot, she is his assistant. No "secretcy" there, he's said who she is many times.


Exactly what is is that leaves you wondering?

So we found out during the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost interview yesterday that she's not called Lin or Lynn, and that is just her Alan Partridge alias. The other bit of information we discovered, that Simon's dog has a 'saggy minge' after losing too much weight, made me laugh so hard! I wasn't fussed about listening to their interview, but I really enjoyed it in the end.

How were you nearly right? Did you say that Chris's assistant was known as Lin because of Alan Partridge, but actually preferred not to have her real name used on the radio? I must have missed that post.

Did we only just find this out? I thought it was widely known to anyone with a brain...

Am I the only person who actually listens to the show? :D

* Vivienne is his agent. http://www.vivienneclore.com/artist-det ... is-moyles/

* Lynn is Alan Partridge's PA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Alan ... Characters

* Lynn is what Chris calls his PA, as a comedy homage to Alan. I think he may have hired his friend Abbie (Jodie's wife) as his PA? I know he's mentioned her real name, but only a couple of times, so I can't be sure.
Their wedding is mentioned in this running order: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00twwm0

Yeah. I don't even know who Chris Moyles is.


I was joking of course, but I listen to the whole show from start to finish, I never miss a minute (apart from skipping many songs and the news). I wonder how many here tune in like in the "old days", only when they are up and listening live, so miss some of the show, and how many only "Listen Again" to the whole show, like me.

I see she was at Alton Towers today....bowling the other night.Let me be the first to officially say "I RECKON HE`S GIVING HER ONE" :)


Stop spreading rumors. Also, it was Thorpe Park not Alton Towers.
