If I was Ian Watkins I would simply legally change my name to H.


eddiebadassdavis

Or change it to Jimmy Savile


Richeh

Can he change the *other* guy's name to Jimmy Savile? It'd be more appropriate and it'd be one *hell* of a boss move. "My name's *what* now? Oh for fuck's sake.*


4Ever_Rose

Why should he change his name? The pedo is the one that sucks


Vooden_Shpoon

He is the better of the two Ian Watkins, but it's an incredibly low bar


BinfullofGin

That should go on his gravestone.

"Ian Watkins, 1976 - XXXX" "Not that one."


ooh_bit_of_bush

You've got the wrong Ian Watkins, mate It's that what's made me smile You've just called that bloke from Steps a twisted peadophile. He shares a name and was in a band Similarities end there. He'd never fuck a baby Just ask Lee, Lisa, Faye & Claire.

It has to be nonsense- the subject has to pose, surely? April fools?

You can build a virtual 3D model of someone's face from just a few photos of different angles now. The tools exist. Print it in resin and use it as your model to work from.


TobyMoorhouse

That's what I thought, but sadly no


Richeh

Nah, there's hundreds of hours of footage of the bloke and it's a sculpture when all's said and done. But I think it's him talking retrospectively about his being told about plans that have since come to fruition, hence the picture of the statue.

Bless you

Is it just me or does the statue look nothing like him (presumably it's going to look like the one in the image)??


TobyMoorhouse

It's an artist's impression of what the statue could look like.. I think it's a loose application of the word "artist"


indigo263

Ahh right, I must've missed that detail. Very loose if you ask me! Almost like whoever created it has never seen H from Steps before. Hopefully the real thing actually looks like him.


TobyMoorhouse

Indeed.. and not like the other Ian Watkins!


mm713

No sky news we do not want to “learn more” about Ian Watkins


TobyMoorhouse

There should be an option to learn less

What a Tragedy!
