Is this genuine or...?

He is truly terrible

ReturnOfFatBack · 17/02/2024 19:25

What a weird choice for this show!

MintTwirl · 17/02/2024 19:26

Omg why is this happening?! Didn’t have this on my 2024 bingo card 😂

HNY2023 · 17/02/2024 19:26

OMG - this cannot be serious!

This will go down in TV history for all the wrong reasons!

gaggiagirl · 17/02/2024 19:26

It is genuine. He sings now. I like his jumper.

Papergirl1968 · 17/02/2024 19:27

That was...weird. 😂

In the history of the world, has any man taken himself as seriously as Eric Cantona takes himself?

Endoftethermum1 · 17/02/2024 19:30

Is it April Fools early?! My god it was dreadful!

Xyz1234567 · 17/02/2024 19:34

I was waiting all the way through for the good bit to start!

MadelineWuntch · 17/02/2024 19:36

100% still would.

So was I, it sounded like it might have been a nice song but it didn't go anywhere which made it all so much worse.

…When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea…

monpetitlapin · 17/02/2024 19:37

@MadelineWuntch OMG I thought that too when I saw him on that Beckham documentary when I watched it earlier this week. 🤣

roodlesnoodles · 17/02/2024 19:41

I literally just came on here to see if anyone else saw that or if I was hallucinating! WTF was that??

Xyz1234567 · 17/02/2024 19:41

To be fair, I watched he's him in a French TV series called Inhuman Resources and he was actually very good if you fancy some more of your hairy eye candy!

ViolinSpin · 17/02/2024 19:50

It was not my cup of tea at all.
I initially thought it was a joke seeing as the show is full of funny skits.

JuJuHeyHey · 17/02/2024 19:59

LOVE HIM ❤️

GoodbyeMyPupper · 17/02/2024 20:18

Well that has cheered me up after a truly awful day - that, and the comments about it here! As DH says: In France, this is normal...in England, it's just....not brilliant. In fairness, it sounds a lot better recorded.

LostFrog · 17/02/2024 20:21

I’m so confused. Seemed like a really bad Leonard Cohen impression, complete with silly hat.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 18/02/2024 10:39

I couldn't quite believe my eyes, or ears, either. It was very French. Normal in France. For a British Saturday night? Not so much. I suppose it makes a change from the bland stuff we usually get. Wonder if Graham Naughton will have him on? I spent the whole three minutes (was it three minutes? Felt like half an hour) trying to decide if it was awful or genius. But yes, he does take himself very, very seriously. The bit with Michael afterwards was funny, as EC obviously didn't understand the questions but had his own answers. M coped very well with that. What a great show! Hope it wins loads of awards.

100% still would.

He'd have to promise not to sing though

Back21970 · 18/02/2024 13:41

I don’ t usually watch the show but I’m definitely getting this episode in catch up 🤣

Watch the episode that had Alison Hammond - I think it was the week before last. Was a terrific show.
