Egluntyne Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Gosh! When did he say this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Mary Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Cinnamon - as a woman of taste, how can you rate anything that that man says - he's ghastly and so slimey, that with a few more brain cells he could have been a gynacologist Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 sorry to show my ignorance....who is he? Obviously my sheltered rural lifestyle means I have missed him!!! I don't know who he is either, I'm thinking footballer or chef? Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Is he not a bloke off those dancing competitions on TV? (One of the judges?) Scrawny little creep if I'm thinking of the right person . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 He is probably full of inner rage- being the lovechild of Jimmy Hill and Bruce Forsyth and all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 He's a professional ballroom dancer with a wry sense of humour. He always gets given the more mature celebrity to dance with. I always thought I'd like to meet him - now of course I can't as I know he would want to shoot me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Anton who? Fat people should be shot indeed, well that would see off most of the population. Glad to hear he's not a body fascist though he should be shot for uttering such bilge, silly little man Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Mary Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 And...just you wait until he stops dancing professionally and finds the pounds piling on ... he won't be so judgemental then..... Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucky1 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 He must have LOADS of inner insecurities !! What a berk !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 no one will ever forget that comment I'd like to hear what he says in a few years with a bit of middle age spread, I hope he wakes up like the mitchaline man on day - would serve him righ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have added a link to the article in the first post above. It really strikes me as a very silly thing to say,even if it is in jest (& I don't think it was ) As a good number of his fans are going to be ladies of a certain age, & a fair few of those may also be ladies of a certain size,he has really shot himself in the dancing foot with this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I agree - and it doesn't seem like him. He is very slim, obviously, but I don't think he's a naturally thin person himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 To be fair the only bit of what he said that I disagree with is the 'they should be shot' bit. A lot of the rest of what he says makes sense.

Tessa the Duchess Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 To be honest, I really wouldn't believe everything you read in the newspapers and particularly the Daily Mail Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 His comment about there used only to be one fat child in a class and now there are several is a fair one....although his comment about slapping their parents isn't very helpful.

Cinnamon Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thing is,it is a full page interview & they have used that quote as the header. That would be a pretty big porky to tell,don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The title is also two bits of what he 'supposedly' said cobbled together anyway so I wouldnt put anything past them. I also didn't read it as he actually meant they should physically be slapped. Surely at least one other person on here has discovered something someone else has done wrong and muttered to themselve 'oh I'll kill them'. Doesn't mean that they would actually go out and commit murder its a turn of phrase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think wouldn't you. The Daily Mail are poo disturbers of the worst kind, and quite frankly I would take anything they print with a huge pinch of salt. I'm sure we have all seen 'celebs' talking about the terrible lies that have been printed about them in the papers. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 IMHO that makes him all the more of a muppet for saying it. For someone in the public eye to say that all fat people should be shot in a newspaper interview is honestly one of the most stupid things I have ever heard of. Even if it was said in a light hearted way, he really should have known better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was said in a light hearted way, he really should have known better I've just read the whole interview. He does sound like a real creep, all that healthy living just makes me want to reach for a bar of chocolate and a large glass of wine He probably did say it, what an idiot.

bronze Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Funny that I've been defending him as I'm one of the few on here who never did like him. To be honest I never let what people like him who have no impact on my lives and I have no reason to listen say offend me. So what if he thinks that. I bet most people have a few radical opinions. People pussyfoot around so much being careful they don't offend anyone so it becomes ok for parents to stick burgers through school gates to their kids after people have campaigned tirelssly for their children to have better food because noones got the guts to stand up and say you're wrong, what you are doing is wrong and you shouldnt do it. Its ok to go on about the size 0 industry or people smoking but heavens help anyone who has a strong opnion about people being fat which is also a huge killer.
