He was quite scathing about his camp mates in an interview in the Mail - apart from Tinchy. He said that three of them had never heard of pineapple. Don't believe that. I know some of them are not the sharpest but I don't believe they are that dumb.
Michael A true gentleman.

maybe they were doing a "Joey" (i can't tell the timeŠJoey essex) and hoping they would get airtime/votes for being thick.

In answer to your question - I believe since reality TV became such a big hit. Suddenly people could see that the simple act of appearing on a television can result in some spurious fame and money!

Yes - especially, if they can't spell, tell the time, differentiate between countries & counties etc, etc......
These failings in our educational system are seen as endearing
Thought Michael a bit snobby at first then laughed at his quip aboot Jimmy getting a piggy back while carrying on like a child..... " a low hanging branch would come in handy"....loved it..

Well you haven't exactly given examples of the opposites of my 'pompous, arrogant and posh' adjectives - direct quotes from Mr Burk, by the way. So your comment is meaningless. What I would give as examples of opposites are 'Down to earth, humble and...what IS the opposite of 'posh'?
Don't you aspirate pus out of a boil?

oooo look ! i didn't answer your post i answered THIS POST by Crawley Cutie so hmmmm, under your rules that makes my post meaningful and yours meaningless, but thanks for showing you don't actually read what people write and what they are responding to.
oh dear you got the definition of aspirational wrong too:
aspirational: ADJECTIVE
Having or characterized by aspirations to achieve social prestige and material success:
no wonder you don't like educated, intelligent and articulate people like Michael.

I totally agree and it is a shame the editing went with the lookatme brigade.

I'm a member of the general public and there's a place for Michael Buerk in my heart.
