Chris Rea recently went back to see Burt Bacharach & Hal David, in 1965 as he wanted them to write a huge hit song for him, he took Graeme, the," no he's a Maine Coon, definitely not a Lynx, honest," Cat along for some company, when he met up with the songwriters, Chris kept getting distracted by Graeme finding things, and bringing them to Chris, who kept saying "What's New Pussycat" as each new gift was delivered, Bacharach & David, picked up on this and duly wrote a song, Chris Rea refused point blank to record, in his words, "Utter shoot like that" so they persuaded Tom Jones to sing it, who had a massive hit in the U.S & U.K with "What's New Pussycat" Chris Rea was fuming and to this day loves to fly over South Wales in the Turdis, in a set manner that makes it rain, a lot, Poor Chris, should have just sung the song.

Chris Rea was banned from Antiques Road Show after taking in his collection of Roman carvings to be valued, and somehow exposing Hugh Scully to a near-lethal dose of auberge radiation.
A producer later confirmed the carvings as "top notch pornography, worth suffering a few roentgen".

Sutcliffe often claimed to be a 'Weightlifter' and having been arrested several times was let off cos of his 'friendship' with a copper at his local gym. Nobody knows who this mystery policeman was but it it took suspicion away from 'My mate Pete' for years

Chris Rea has categorically denied any involvement with suspicious men who operated in Leeds.
He confirmed, "I only ever visited the mosh pit at The Duchess".
Indeed, construction work at the former pub did uncover suspicious levels of unidentified ionising radiation.
