Got paid to punch Ricky Gervais?

Not sure how he lost? I'd have been Sooooo motivated.

I like the guy to be honest. he might be trying a bit hard with the 'nice' persona though.

did he say he was "best known" for being married to Anthea Turner, shouldn't that have been "only known"?

In fairness he was also quite well known for going bankrupt owing a few quid.

I wonder if he got to see her Tracy Island

Probably did. Even got to play with the secret tunnel where Thunderbird 2 goes in.

Hope it wasn't held together with bits of sticky backed plastic.

I thought he was a bit weird. And rude. And patronising.

The new Andy!

Imo he is a horrible slimy creepy chancer who has not one shred of integrity or loyalty. I only hope he doesn't manage to fool the younger viewers into thinking otherwise.

Exactly how he came across as.

He says he is in there to show the British public his true self, that he is not the person the press depicted, etc. etc. etc. ... Is there ONE person in Britain who gives a tuppenny crap about him?

He's not in the public eye. No-one wants him in the public eye. We don't care if you are now a nice person. Go away.

I didn't know, good to see he earnt his 'celebrity' doing something constructive

^^ this

will he be using his alleged 100k fee to pay back those that lost their livelihood due to his bankruptcy?

I find it interesting that he now shares his ex-wife's management??? and she is tweeting him 'good luck'...

VILE pair

He looks older than 56. I thought he was about 64.

I thought he was Jeffrey Archer when I first saw him.

How very dare you!

Yeah .... he has got a look of him!

He has sported the jeans with suit jacket "look" for ever now. Look at me I am smart but I am cool. Lets just hope he doesn't get influenced by the bare knee look any time soon. Or he will be running around in there like a latter day Leslie Philips. "well hello poppit"

I think that was a celebrity boxing match for Children In Need or Comic Relief a few years ago.
