In this arena, talent is subjective. And they have none from my viewpoint.

Yep. Sadly pay scales are not issued based on my likes and dislikes. If they were...

She only had a smallish part but she’s a well respected singer now. Doing what she loves and happy as owt, as for Ant, money means nothing obviously.

I'm not a great fan of them, mainly due to Ant. He always has to be centre of attention, and always wants to be the funny guy.
Whilst "The 2 Ronnies", "Morecombe and Wise" etc had 1 guy who was the funny one it worked as it wasn't forced.
That said I hope he gets to grip with his demons.

I find them both really helpful....
...anything with them in, involved with or endorsing.... don't watch it.

I like some of their shows, if they werent on tv, would I miss them, no, but then I dont do a lot of tv unless its sports. What I will say though, is that when Saturday night takeaway is on, its good light hearted fun, we come together as a family and all watch it together, and there are only 1 or 2 shows where that happens in our house so thats worth it alone for me. I hope he gets himself sorted, it looks quite bad at present for him, but with help from friends and family hopefully he can pull round.

I'm thinking (from the video some voyeuristic bystander) that he was pretty pissed when he got out of the car - though being reported as 'being in shock'. The fact that he has immediately taken himself into rehab and given a roadside breathalyzer failure suggests to me that the lads underlying problem will have long been alcohol and hence why he has admitted himself.
That he was in rehab last year for addiction to painkillers - whilst a very real addiction for many - is the sort of cross-addiction alcoholics and drug addicts have. And so when they go into a rehab/treatment centre what is put up front as the reason is often not the underlying problem - either to keep face and to provide an 'acceptable' reason - or as denial.
I wish him well - and there is little point in castigating and publicly humiliating an alcoholic for drink driving - the alcoholic knows he shouldn't - but denial when in the grip of alcoholism is very strong and very difficult if not impossible to recognise and resist - even if, in this case, given the likely exhortations and pleading of his mum not to drive.
As I have read - alcoholism is the disease that makes you believe that you don't have the disease.
I have no concerns for Declan Donnelly - he will do just fine. And I find the blaming of AM for DD loss of income or aspects of his career is sad and unthinking. DD will understand his mate's problem and will not have any resentments for what has happened - and he will not I suggest want him blamed in any way. He will know and be pleased that his mate is where he needs to be.

Only ever see them on I'm a celebrity, but they are very good at their job. Presenting is not an easy art, just look at Gary Lineker.

Many (most?) of us try not to!
Inevitable as it was. Not a good situation for him and you have to wonder what his future holds

His future can be a lot better than his recent (at the very least) past.
i cant understand how it took 3 days to charge him TBH, a few cops on here and idea's?
I d have thought thought DD failed breathalyzer and the lion intoxilyzer he would have been banged to rights and charged before leaving the station

No idea, by he. Same thoughts.
Fail breathalyser at side of road, get nicked.
Fail machine at station.
chucked in cell, sober up then charge.
Only two things I thought of were, investigating other driving charges or drugs test?
