Suzanne
Suzanne Whiston is Karl's longtime girlfriend. She is a producer for the football programme Match of the Day, and also worked on the World Cup.
She and Karl met while they were working at Key 103, a radio station in Manchester. She gave Karl 20p for hot chocolate, and later he did some editing for her and she bought him another hot chocolate. "Next thing I know, she's livin' with me" said Karl. Ricky joked that because Karl hasn't spent any money on Suzanne in eleven years, he's at least 40p up.
Famously, Karl once gave Suzanne a bulk package of condoms for Christmas. Another Christmas she received the camera Karl had been given for his leaving gift after working 10 years at Xfm. He also once bought her a posh badge she wanted for a birthday.
At one point, Karl and Suzanne separated for a few weeks over a haircut she got that Karl said looked like Dave Hill from Slade.
Karl's ability to find and keep a girlfriend has been met by amazement by listeners to the Ricky Gervais Show podcast.
Recently, there has been speculation amongst fans that Suzanne appeared in a video podcast. She is allegedly the first librarian in the episode 15 of the first series of the Video Podcast. In the scene Karl asks does the library hold his new book The World Of Karl Pilkington, to which the librarian replies no.
