Is this appropriate?

Quote: Lee lives with his wife Tara and children, 'Arlo' [born 2004] and Louie [born 2006]. He has a niece named 'Kaia' who is good friends with 'Emily' and 'Hazel'

Relevant? Appropriate? Probably not. Kateab (talk) 14:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not appropriate no, I've removed it. Well spotted :-) Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 15:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wife and children are relevant and need a ref. Niece and her friends are not relevant. Jim Michael (talk) 20:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Coat

The "Early Life" section currently says "Mack then became a blue coat for Pontins at Hemsby near Great Yarmouth." To anyone outside the UK, that sentence would be totally inscrutable. I'm changing it to "Mack then became one of the 'Blue Coat' entertainers for the Pontins holiday resort at Hemsby in Norfolk." Sadiemonster (talk) 04:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Three Children

The article says Lee has two children. I'm not really sure how to cite sources, but the Random House webpage for his book says "Lee lives in London with his wife Tara, and their three children Arlo, Louie and Millie." Sadiemonster (talk) 09:47, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it worth mentioning what happened to his brother? Or not appropriate?

I'll let you Wikipeople decide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.141.13 (talk) 18:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
