Do VA block seats in UC for golds etc?

Looking at the seat map for VS002 from EWR-LHR that I'm flying on and I'm the only person who seems to be flying UC at present (would be interesting if it stayed that way!).

The first 3 or so rows of the snooze zone and the two rearmost port side seats are all blocked off. Are these being held back in case a GCH wants them or what?

I don't think they would do that for golds, but there are a whole raft of far more (self) important people that they would do it for - maybe some z list celeb who was on the X-Factor a few years ago is flying with their entourage. 8D :w
