He handcuffed a male escort to a radiator and beat him with a metal chain.

FFS! There's someone more worthy of doing all the bushtucker trials than Matt Hancock?! Who knew?

Never watched it really before but just happened across it whilst browsing. But urgghhh - total shudder experience. There is literally nothing likeable about him. Some greasy old geezer that’s trying to be relevant and forgiving a massive drug addiction by pretending to meditate. Grim

Faking being a known Buddhist and sober for 10years?

Sparklingbrook · 09/11/2022 20:03

Who knew?

About the crime BG was convicted of? Erm, everyone.

Emotionalsupportviper · 09/11/2022 20:08

he appeared in the news doe snogging his dance partner in some crappy dance show

It is NOT a "crappy dance show"! 😡

It is STRICTLY!

Takes a while to warm up … hunger will make them clash I bet and egos …

And Ant and Dec are tools too. Wouldn’t watch if you paid me.

Yes. This is what happened. He should not still have a career in showbusiness. He is disgusting.

He should not still have a career in showbusiness.

I think appearing on I'm a Celebrity is proof that he hasn't.

Sean(n) Walsh is a comedian, and more importantly he is the Strictly Love Rat whose snog behind the pub bins with his professional partner dominated the tabloid front pages for a full week in 2018.

It wasn't so much the snog that did him in, more the fact that his girlfriend publicly informed the world that he'd told her he couldn't make it home early for her birthday because he was rehearsing so very hard, and also that girlfriend was a psycho jealous bitch for suspecting that there might be something going on between Sean(n) and aforementioned dance partner.

He's known as the poster boy for emotionally abusive gaslighters. TBF I've never heard his side of the story.

😟🤮

So we've got BG who committed an awful crime whilst suffering from a psychotic break from his well documented drug addiction, who served prison time and has successfully managed to recover from his addiction and rehabilitate himself. We've also got Ant McPartlin who crashed his car injuring another driver whilst drink driving whilst suffering from alcohol addiction, who was fined £86,000 and banned from driving for 20 months and has managed to recover from his addiction and rehabilitate himself. One is the devil incarnate, the other is perfectly OK because he's part of a loveable Geordie duo. Honestly the hypocrisy on this thread is astounding.

LuluBlakey1 · 09/11/2022 21:25

I never watch 'I'm a Celebrity'- not after series 1. It's awful- just trash TV that goes in for humiliation and cheap shots. But that aside, I can not stand Boy George. I find him repugnant, offensive and dislike everything about him. Everything I have ever seen him on,or read about him, just confirms my opinion of him.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 09/11/2022 21:26

I stopped liking him in December 2001, after he said Jonathan King didn't deserve to go to prison.

JoonT · 09/11/2022 21:32

I watched a documentary a while ago about Culture Club. They had a reunion dinner, and everyone was laughing and relaxed. Then Boy George turned up and the atmosphere changed. Everyone tiptoed nervously around him, just waiting for a tantrum. Probably a narcissist.

Chris Moyles is horrible. I always loathed him. He was part of the vile ‘laddism’ movement, which celebrated everything I hate about this country - the oafish, ignorant, burping, beer-swilling moron side to the Britain.

Who has defended Ant McPartlin on this thread?
Literally no one.

Can you point out even one poster who has said those two things on this thread?

memoriesofamiga · 09/11/2022 22:55

Seann Walsh shouldn't be on this show either. Disgusting excuse for a human being. I've read the book his ex released this year about how he emotionally abused and gaslit her and it resonated with my experiences in my own abusive marriage so much.

He shouldn't be on the TV. It's all very well these adverts on TV by the government trying to get us to take domestic abuse seriously when abusers like Seann Walsh are allowed to reppear on tv whenever they can.

Cocomoon2 · 10/11/2022 00:00

Like Mike and Sue, seem the most genuine. BG not been divaish up to now imo...watch this space

Vodkafairy99 · 10/11/2022 00:47

Chris Moyles is a gobshite who likes to belittle people and the sound of his own voice. Between him and BG, car crash TV that you CANNOT stop watching!! 😂

Sparklingbrook · 10/11/2022 01:01

Everyone complaining like mad about it all and claiming not to be watching, or complaining about it all and watching every second. Publicity for the show either way...

Mike Tindall seems like a nice chap. And I wonder why Olivia left so soon.

"Mike Tindall seems like a nice chap"

Oh yeah?

Mike Tindall is a member of the Royal Family.

This young woman is a member of the crew.

Mike Tindall's hand is literally on her breast, and she is trying to remove it. This isn't "a playful tickle", this is sexual assault.

Boy George. What an absolute tool

I’m more peed off they’ve let that moron Matt Hancock in. As soon as I saw him I switched channel and now not watching. And to the poster who said they can’t stand Ant & Dec I agree. I hate them and when that ad comes on with the blow up pants? Urggggh it’s cringeworthy!

Klaudiagal · 10/11/2022 07:20

Apparently she tested positive on COVID, has to obv leave immediately and can’t join for a week, and they said that too much would have happened on that time so if she is allowed to rejoin, she would have an unfair advantage… so she is out out, and I do feel for her, what a disappointment it must be…

This is so not okay .

Sparklingbrook · 10/11/2022 08:05

I thought Olivia left for a medical reason and couldn’t go back in because of the risk of Covid going into the camp. Not that she had Covid.

Allegedly he told the chap to say “Do you really want to hurt me?”

No. It was a member of the court during the trial.
