I remember all you lot when X Factor started this year, with your crushes

He is awful isn't he? Come across as really pompous, spiteful and a little bit thick.

No wonder Robbie Williams used to loathe him, if that's how he carried on.

As I said on yesterday's X factor thread, he is like Stan Boardman crossed with all the Borgias.

The more you dig into a celebrities life the more you see what they are like as a human being.
I'll still remember him for the music and not on being an arse on a TV show that has all the qualities of a medieval pig market :)

AriesWithBellsOn · 05/12/2011 14:51

I used to love Gary. I don't any more I am Disappointed In Him.

Get0rf · 05/12/2011 14:51

I remember him for the music as well.

That's why I disliked him before he was a judge on X factor.

(not that I actually watch that shit)

BroomBuBuBum · 05/12/2011 14:51

I thought he was very swoonsome at first now he makes my eyes and ears itch!

GreenIceAndChristmasHam · 05/12/2011 14:52

I've never been a fan, but then I think Take That are one of the most over rated bands ever.

I think his best song was that 'Over and Over and Over Again' Xmas song for Geraldine McQueen Grin

And he has spray on hair.

Nancy66 · 05/12/2011 14:52

...I like him.

Could live with never seeing 'I just love Y'all. ' kelly Rowland on my screen again.

Get0rf · 05/12/2011 14:55

The Take Twat fans really got on my nerves when I was 15.

I didn't think that I would still have to endure them wittering on about how cute Mark Owen is at the age of 33.

Yes, I agree GetOrf, in fact dh and I pretty much said the same thing while watching last night. YANBU

AriesWithBellsOn · 05/12/2011 14:57

Some time ago, and I mean this in the nicest possible way because he seems like a decent enough chap, Mark Owen started resembling a little gnome.

WeThreeKingsOfMardyBra · 05/12/2011 14:57

I don't know. I still wouldn't say no...

Get0rf · 05/12/2011 14:58

I bloody would.

Imagine having sex with someone whose voice reminds you of Wallace and Grommit.

AriesWithBellsOn · 05/12/2011 14:58

I do like a piece of Wensleydale Grommit...

WeThreeKingsOfMardyBra · 05/12/2011 14:58

Blush I find the voice quite sexy. I like interesting vowels.

valiumredhead · 05/12/2011 14:58

God are you kidding? He is effing gorgeous, mind you any bloke who can play a piano does it for me!

I was never a TT fan but am huge GB fan after watching the serious of X factor! Now Tulisa on the other hand SHE makes me want to hurl cushions and the telly!!

Mind you I missed last night's X factor so unless he did something REALLY outrageous and I missed it YABU Grin

dancingmustard · 05/12/2011 14:59

If you lot don't stop with thedigs at GB i'm going to report you all.

To the Take That fan club :)

snuffaluffagus · 05/12/2011 14:59

I'll have him if you don't want him.. (happy to fight valium for him).

MelodyPond · 05/12/2011 15:00

I can't stand him now, and he used to be my favourite.

I knew he'd get too big for his boots ss soon as he started that bloody show.

But I agree with Nancy, Kelly Rowland makes me feel ill!

Get0rf · 05/12/2011 15:00

Go on then mustard

I can take them all on. Grin

Gorgeous? Really. He looks like the smuggest man in the world.

WeThreeKingsOfMardyBra · 05/12/2011 15:00

I agree with you valium. Tulisa was seriously misjudged with the bullying accusations - it was like a 8 year in a playground. Also I couldn't believe she hadn't heard of one of the classic Aretha songs.

IWantSantasNewToyInMyStocking · 05/12/2011 15:01

I still love him.

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 05/12/2011 15:01

He is a knob, and is only angling to be Mr Robbie Williams IMVHO.
But I've already vented my spleen on the XF fred Grin

GreenIceAndChristmasHam · 05/12/2011 15:02

He always looks stoned!

And he can't say 'performance'!

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 05/12/2011 15:02

Mr Robbie Williams as in Robbie's husband. Joke FAIL.
