With celebrities, that's eradicated. There's a showbiz instinct with them that won't kick in with a member of the public. So far famous victims have included chef Gino D'Acampo and tennis champion Andy Murray, but there haven't been any famous female victims yet, presumably because not even Michael is brave enough to attempt to film Joan Collins or Victoria Beckham sans make-up at 2am. She had her hairnet on. One of the winning segments of Michael's show is called Send To All, pictured, where a star allows him to send a text message to all the other celebs in their phone contacts.
Craig doesn't sleep in rollers, we can reveal. He went from slumber to sparkle in record time. The segment will air on Christmas Day, so it was a wake-up call with bells on. And Christopher Biggins in panto gear.
Anton Du Beke was there, wrapped as a gift. When I left at 3. Being handed the coveted Christmas Day slot is, of course, the telly equivalent of a knighthood. He's landed it before — back in he gamely played Little Drummer Boy for a Weekend photoshoot to mark the occasion — but this time he says he's really gone to town with the tinsel. One of the winning segments of Michael's show is called Send To All, where a star allows him to send a text message to all the other celebs in their phone contacts.
When we sent a message to all Ed Balls's contacts inviting them to his for a hot tub party, a couple of people turned up with their towels. That happened to me too. James Corden and I did a version once. We swapped phones and he sent a message to all my contacts inviting them to a strip club.
My pest control guy drove down from Wiltshire! He was texting me en route and I had to say, 'There is no strip club! We're not going! What will happen when Sharon Osbourne throws open her contacts for Michael on Christmas Day is anyone's guess. Even those who don't care for his stand-up must concede that he's pulled off quite a coup by moving into primetime telly. The original format of the show used his stand-up as a springboard into more general entertainment segments.
Now those segments are the main event. Michael takes part in the pranks too, going undercover and duping his guests. It's all a bit Jeremy Beadle. He seems thrilled by this. We've had a few occasions where you can see people thinking, 'I know that face. He still tours of course, but isn't TV now the biggest stage in the world? It's a poisoned chalice.
No one told me that. But in some ways it's easier than stand-up. Well, I get to go home earlier. Ultimately, though, they feed into one another. I need the stand-up. I do that for my sanity. I go a bit mad if I'm not on stage. He jokes, or maybe half-jokes, about how he could have therapy but stand-up means the audience pay him. The TV audience, however, brings him new fans, who then want tickets to his stadium shows. When you keep going on stage, slightly less people will come out.
They get older. They get divorced, and only one of them likes you…'. He knows his own strengths. He says he favours 'loser comedy', which has made it tricky to maintain the flow of material since he's now awash with success. He has however sometimes used the not-at-all-funny events in his own life for laughs, although this doesn't come easily. Last year he was mugged by a gang on mopeds while on the school run.
His son Oscar had just got into his Range Rover parked near the school gates when the gang struck. Wielding hammers, they smashed the window on the driver's side and forced Michael to hand over his Rolex watch.
Three days later he was on stage in Dublin, being funny about it. If you keep bringing it up, it's difficult. People see you as one thing. He's the guy who got mugged! I'm the guy who makes people laugh. He does talk a little about it today, the horror peppered with humour. He still seems shocked by the speed at which it happened. When something like that happens, it's so quick, it only takes a minute.
You have this brain freeze. Mind you, who knows what would have happened if I had started the car? At first he thought the figure beside his car wanted a selfie. He slips into comedy mode here. I do not like him but I did not know he is a cyclist. I hate his voice and his stupid face and hair Posted 11 years ago. BontyBuns Free Member. Not my style. Houns Full Member. CHB Full Member. I think he is great. I think its a very contrived style, but it works for me.

Criticisms levelled at the bubbly McIntyre by fellow comics range from the hostile to the more affectionate see box, right and it is true that his brand of inoffensive, light observational humour — not controversial or edgy but usually very funny — has its detractors and it has been branded safe or comedy beige.
His topics revolve around family life with his wife and children, Lucas and Oscar, or a whole host of social etiquettes including ordering wine from a restaurant.
We have paid good money. Have a smell? But what he seems to be concerned about is more personal hostility and it is a hurt he has been nurturing for some time. All I was doing was just making people laugh. I would never be rude about somebody else in my profession because we all do this same thing.
