He's getting some stick / piss taking for this.
The thing that struck me is he spends 1hr 30 with his son, who he also admits he didn't want, but hours in the gym, going out for breakfast, gaming etc. He's living the life of a single man but has a wife to do everything and have his lunch on the table by 12.
If she posted on here the cry of LTB would be unanimous.

Cant stand him

salinea · 06/02/2024 12:30

He not only has a wife to do everything, he has a wife and MIL to do everything.

StephanieSuperpowers · 06/02/2024 12:30

Gregg, before he gets very upset.

AhBiscuits · 06/02/2024 12:32

1hr 30 of quality time with his son followed by 2 hours shut in his office gaming. What a prick. 😄

The gym let him in early.....so his twatfull face doesn't spoil any other gym goers day probably.

NeverAHarvester · 06/02/2024 12:45

I just don't get the full fry up at 10.30am and then demanding dinner on the table at 12pm.

NigelHarmansNewWife · 06/02/2024 12:45

The DT comments are worth a read.

Catsfrontbum · 06/02/2024 12:47

Oh pooo it is behind a pay wall

PermanentTemporary · 06/02/2024 12:48

Given it's mostly plugs for his various ventures, I doubt that any of it is real. I think he needs better PR management.

It did cross my mind whether he is autistic too, not because of any individual bit of it but something about the bluntness of some of it.

Wishitsnows · 06/02/2024 12:49

Sounds really dull and in bed by 8?! Doesn’t bother with his son much either

ReturnOfFatBack · 06/02/2024 12:49

I read the whole thing with the voice of Alan Partridge in my head. Grin

Lottapianos · 06/02/2024 12:49

It really reminded me of Alan Partridge, especially the bit in the Harvester with 'my PA' 😂

Sounds like he agreed to have a baby on the condition that his MIL moved in, so that there would be TWO women picking up after him, not just one. But oh no wait, he cooks once a week, so that's all good then 🙄

Can't access it!

stillavid · 06/02/2024 12:52

It is interesting as a lesson about what happens when you have a child with a man who has made it pretty clear he doesn't want one but goes along with it to make his wife happy. I wonder how happy she is now.

RaininSummer · 06/02/2024 12:53

I am not surprised to hear that he is a massive knob end in real life and it isn't just his TV persona.

Fizbosshoes · 06/02/2024 12:56

I managed to read it
To give him the benefit of the doubt this might have been abridged from a much longer interview
He does seem to get a awful lot of "me time" for someone married with a young SEN child, and I'm not sure about breakfast at 10.30 and lunch at 12...but I'll try to reserve too much judgement without knowing what the other 6 days are like!

AuntiePathy · 06/02/2024 12:56

I love the way he thinks his bloaty belly is his imperfection - in the same breath as immortalising for all time in the internet the fact that he didn't actually want his young son.

I think the silently simmering PA wrote the whole feature as a very public resignation letter.

'Amateur historian' rather than mere gamer I think you'll find Hmm

OhItsOnlyCynthia · 06/02/2024 12:58

He didn't want his son, but he puts in a solid 90 minute stint with him. Props to you, you insufferable prick.

And then he eats sausage, bacon & eggs? What’s the point of that?

And his dogs. Wouldn't want to spend time with just his child and not the dogs, that would be time wasted.

Oh I see from reading elsewhere that he has been married 3 x before, maybe the others did, in fact , LTB?
