What happened with Cillia Black?

whumpthereitis · 19/10/2022 08:11

Famously an arsehole.

I remember he did an AMA on Reddit and got absolutely roasted.

People always said CB was up her own backside..... They are now saying the same about JC...

I have no opinions on him one way or another but have heard he's not nice to people IRL.

I have no doubt he's talented with his work with Ruth Jones though (I never found it that funny to be honest), saw him in One Man 2 Guvnors though and he was good in that.

He got his arse handed to him there didn't he? But if you're an arsehole IRL don't be surprised if it comes back to bite you.

Idontgiveashitanymore · 19/10/2022 08:30

He’s a tw@ !

He quickly regretted that one.

Can’t pick a personal favorite between ‘chubby, boozy panda’ and ‘ever thought about coming back to the UK? And if so, what can we do to stop you?’

It's funny - he obviously thought he'd be lauded and praised for Carpool Karaoke but he was so not.

I don't know anything about James Corden as a person but this restaurant owner is pretty notoriously unhinged on social media - he's had a years long completely mad vendetta against the restaurant reviewer Marina O'loughlin and others as well.

So I wouldn't take anything he says about Corden without a large bucket of salt.

It just goes to show you just never know.

Some people drip with niceness - he seems so affable but I had a feeling he'd be a bit of a wanker 🤷‍♀️

LookingForTipsNotPuns · 19/10/2022 08:45

I was just coming to post the reddit ama he did a few years back but see someone else has already.

He got absolutely read to filth. He's famously a prick.

monotonousmum · 19/10/2022 08:46

Can't we just enjoy the TV shows (or not) without knowing every detail about someone's life or personality?
The world is full of knobheads. As long as I don't have to deal with them, and what they're doing isn't so hideous that it warrants being cancelled (abuse etc), then I don't really care. Why does it matter to any of us?

This. Both as bad as each other

MorrisZapp · 19/10/2022 08:48

The whole 'affable' thing died a death for me when Justin Lee Collins viciously abused his partner.

I can't trust any affable celebrity now.

monotonousmum · 19/10/2022 08:49

Assuming I'll probably get slated for that. I've never much cared for celebs, so never understood why other people do. Although I'll read anything, so do come across articles about celebs at times.

beguilingeyes · 19/10/2022 09:06

This males me a bit sad because I love Gavin and Stacey so much.

Queuesarasarah · 19/10/2022 09:10

I’m disappointed he is not nice. His parents are truly lovely people.

Rocketclub · 19/10/2022 09:11

They are many narcs that walk amongst us - wolves in sheep clothing from pastors to doctors who we trust who are vile in their ‘real’ lives and sometimes the mask slips

this is why red flags always have to be believed

He's popped up on Twitter tonight about a supposed ban on an airline. Not sure what happened but seems to corroborate your link.

That was Ryanair and I think it was a tweet in jest

Theluggage15 · 19/10/2022 09:12

I think the the restaurant owner sounds vile not Corden. I know someone who met Corden during their job and said he was really friendly and nice. There’s a lot of snobbery towards Corden, he doesn’t speak the right way and is chubby, doesn’t have the right background etc.

It’s not snobbery, he is an absolute cunt.

PAFMO · 19/10/2022 09:15

The airline story (not the Ryanair tweet) is that a mother with a crying baby was moved into business and put next to him. He didn't say anything, just put his headphones on but complained afterwards.

closingloop · 19/10/2022 09:16

I was pretty indifferent towards him until I read his autobiography - came away thinking 'what a scheming lying twat' - and he seems proud of it too which makes it even worse.

I heard a radio interview with him a few weeks ago and he was bemoaning the fact that he was looked down on as being so very working class. But I was struck but how RP his accent and according to wiki his parents were social worker and RAF musician and be grew up in a village in Buckinghamshire. So not posh but not the poor background he is implying.

This is what happens when people get stinking rich - they become arseholes #parforthecourse really🤷🏼‍♀️. Just wish people would stop worshipping the ‘slebs…. People don’t seem to realise their👍 Just translates into more cash, none of them are actually interested in sharing shit with you!!
