Who's the most popular? "We all have different fans," Duncan says. "I get a lot of the mums and the disabled children. A lot of my fans have got cerebral palsy, but you know what? I love children like that, and I love people who have got disabilities because I spent a lot of time in hospital with my grandparents when they were ill, and Mum was a nurse. It's just in my nature. I'm like a magnet to them, and I treat them like normal people so they latch on. I once had a launch party and there was a queue of disabled kids all in wheelchairs come to see me, and Sara [the band's manager] walked in and goes: 'What is it with you and disabled people?'"

Ahh, good ole Blue and their foot and mouth!
Still, at least they're not still whining about Philip Schofield.
In fact he even says: "what pisses me off most about this industry is when people call me thick. I hate that. Because things I say sometimes come out stupid"
Morons. :rolleyes:
They probably feel sorry for him ...what with his intellectual disability.
If I said what I wanted to say, i'd be banned. :mad:
Agree. I really don't think he meant to be patronising or thoughtless. A limited vocabularly and an inability to express himself intelligently is all he can really be criticised for here.
I thought that this was going to be another one of his clangers actually
I'd agree, I do get what I think he's trying to say, he's just said it in a very clumsy fashion.
Put yourself forward to be his future scriptwriter, that's phrased it 100% better
That was the first thing that sprang to my mind too.
I still hope the do well at Eurovision, I watched the "Your Country Needs You" thing and I just can't decided if they are taking the mick or if they really think they are still living 10 years ago (possibly the latter after reading this).
What a ****ing prize C***.
Agreed.
We just need Simon to say something even more moronic (is that possible?!) than "never mind 9/11, save the elephants" and "I love disabled people, they're just like you and me" and then we'll have the full house.
