Apologies for the Daily Mail link. Wasn't there some post ages ago where a Mumsnetter had her face caught in a car window by RK?

He looks like his face is made from melted cheese which has been hairsprayed together badly. Smile

LucyBabs · 30/03/2016 01:32

What an absolute dickhead!
There's an Irish radio station taking the piss out of him at the moment. It's brilliant his fake accent and his fake poshness. Possibly if he was talented I'd have more sympathy

SinisterBumFacedCat · 30/03/2016 01:36

He's a low rent Gary Barlow. And his music is shite.

Americanpastoralyes the one who played izzy, in neighbours she was ok, but out of character well, she comes across as really bitchy. I love delta goodrum but that's another story lol

Katarzyna79 · 30/03/2016 01:43

primalass id agree with you she was quirky weird but that was due to nerves I think. But there are lots of weirdos on these shows. If you see how he behaves whenever any Asian person comes on stage you wont be able to deny he has some hatred. Him and his best mate that neighbours actress look at each other and giggle? Danni minogue is actually one of the best judges there and mature about it. I'm afraid I don't like people like that, he;s not what he seemed to be in his youth.

Alfieisnoisy · 30/03/2016 02:16

Now now folks....my Mum will be upset Grin she adores the git.

I didn't read the DM comments but 'Storm' usually gets referred to on there by her real name Sharon. I can't stand either of them.

WordGetsAround · 30/03/2016 07:58

I don't tend to have strong opinions about famous people but I have a very special reserved hatred for Ronan and shout 'knob' at the radio whenever he / his crap songs are on. Very therapeutic.

wonkylampshade · 30/03/2016 08:05

Hilarious that Storm's real name is Sharon! What a pair of knobs.

expatinscotland · 30/03/2016 08:10

He's a twat, yes.

RaeSkywalker · 30/03/2016 09:11

Shock I loved Boyzone. Gutted to learn the horrible truth though the fact that the rest of you already knew means I must've been living in a cave for several years

I cannot believe the car window story! Awful man!

NNalreadyinuse · 30/03/2016 10:00

What did Chris de Burgh do, that beoke people's hearts?

SymphonyofShadows · 30/03/2016 10:01

Didn't he shag the nanny?

LemonBreeland · 30/03/2016 10:10

I have not heard any of this about RK before. He does seem like a right knob. Hilarious that Storm is actually called Sharon.

Katarzyna79 · 30/03/2016 10:48

whys she called storm then is it her Xmen alter ego?

He was also my first love in about 1993/4, when I was 10. I've since come to terms with the fact he's a twat but remember when he was telling TOTP magazine about how he was saving himself for marriage and I had a 3ft by 3ft poster of him on my wall (sigh) more innocent times.

I had the pleasure of meeting Westlife back when I was one of the kids in the choir on their ropy cover of I Believe in Angels my one claim to fame. Shane seemed really nice, and the ugly one less good looking of the bunch... Mark, maybe? The others seemed very aloof and starry and Bryan didn't even really engage in the meet and greet we had after the recording. Bellend.

AuldYow · 31/03/2016 22:35

He is and always will be a complete pillock.

The car window stories sums him up to be fair I've never met but I have no wish to and as for Storm aka Sharon pmsl

OpenMe · 31/03/2016 22:41

I took a dislike to him years and years ago when I heard him say that all his siblings were singers and their mum would praise them all but then secretly tell him he was the best. Even if it's true, why would you tell the world your mum's "secret" and put your siblings down like that?

ASAS · 31/03/2016 23:42

Although of course violence is not to be condoned, I feel that since we gather here as mums we should all vow to face punch specimens like him forevermore.

Chris de Burgh did have an 'affair' with Rosanna Davison's nanny.
RD is his daughter. An ex Miss World.
I thought he was particularly disgusting because either his lovely wife or his daughter had been unwell after the birth.
He did apparently make a large donation to the Rotunda maternity hospital in Dublin.
CdeB still married to the wife he did the dirty on I think- The Lady in Red.

NNalreadyinuse · 02/04/2016 12:26

Thanks holly. What a sleaze!

freshprincess · 03/04/2016 17:52

I don't even need to click the link to know he's a twat.

Flowers to the mum who punched in the face.

MythologicalPersonage · 03/04/2016 18:26

I saw him on Saturday Kitchen recently and he came across as being really fake. I think Jason Atherton tried to call RK out about snubbing him and his wife during a golf tournament. RK tried to gloss over that but failed.
