To feel sorry for Andrew Castle's dentist

27 replies

Justmeagain78 · 02/07/2016 13:09

He or she obviously does a great job - Castle's gnashers are impeccable but all that hard work and training means nothing because Castle has told the world he wants a dentist he can drool even more over Grin. I hope the dentist knows it's what inside that counts - unless you're a TV producer or commentator in which case being able to cheer prettily is all that matters Grin

Dirty old man! Lol.

DameXanaduBramble · 02/07/2016 13:49

It's his wife I feel sorry for.

I'm not a fan.

flumpybear · 02/07/2016 13:56

Cannot STAND that man, he's a smarmy git - hated him on GMTV too - total numpty cardboard cutout presenter

CremeEggThief · 02/07/2016 13:58

None of us on the tennis threads like him either!

AnyFucker · 02/07/2016 13:58

Could you turn that into a clicky link please

AnyFucker · 02/07/2016 14:05

Ta.

Crass comment. He should keep his pearly-filled gob shut.

bakeoffcake · 02/07/2016 14:16

I too feel sorry for his wife.

He should keep his sexist comments to himself. Surely he should be given a taking to by his bosses for such sexist language said whilst working.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/07/2016 14:31

Urghh, his poor wife. Mind you ,I bet she's heard a lot worse from him over the years poor woman!

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2016 14:37

I can't believe people are getting so het up over his comment. Are we not allowed to say anyone is good looking now? I would be in trouble every day.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/07/2016 14:38

Mrs Castle?Grin

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2016 14:43

Grin I knew someone would say that!

DetestableHerytike · 02/07/2016 14:58

This is in the context of John Inverdale's comments a couple of years ago about Marion Bartolli not being a looker.

Think what you like, but when your job is commentating, don't comment on looks

clam · 02/07/2016 15:03

What do you mean, Mrs Castle? Have I missed something?

Paniniswapx3 · 02/07/2016 15:19

I agree Detestable & have you seen Marion Bartoli recently - shades of Karen Carpenter to me so sincerely hope she is ok. John Inverdale has a lot to answer for & Andrew Castle is just as sexist unfortunately.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 02/07/2016 15:20

Is he the guy who was on Strictly? I thought he was a nasty lecher back then, he was always groping his partner (Ola?). When the other male celebs would put their hand somewhere neutral on their partner like shoulder or hip where it was clothed, he would always grab a bit of skin.

DetestableHerytike · 02/07/2016 15:20

Sarcasm, clam - only his wife could stick up for him Wink

OlennasWimple · 02/07/2016 15:21

He is one of those celebs I don't understand why they have got so much work - what's his appeal?

powershowerforanhour · 02/07/2016 15:23

Maybe Andrew's dentist will be too busy checking themselves in their little dental mirror next time to remember to give the local anaesthetic ;-)

angelos02 · 02/07/2016 15:36

I read that she wasn't a dentist. Just a dental assistant. Massive difference. By about 5.5 years

DetestableHerytike · 02/07/2016 15:39

That was incorrect, angelos. The Daily Express described her as such, she tweeted a correction. She is a dental surgeon.

Not that it's relevant to Castle's sexism either way.

DetestableHerytike · 02/07/2016 15:41

Oh, I see that tweeted correction is at the bottom of the article linked in the OP. Heigh ho.

Justmeagain78 · 02/07/2016 16:27

The camera was on her so much I guess he felt obliged to say something!

Yeah. The weather, maybe?

mrsfuzzy · 02/07/2016 17:08

well she has got a mouthful of teeth, just as well she's a dentist.
