I can't stand him. He is one of the most spoilt and self centred human beings I have ever come across. He actually complained to the producers of a BBC quiz show he was on that he didn't get the respect he felt he deserved. He clearly isn't aware that respect has to be earned and his childish behaviour that night was pathetic. Maybe he'll mellow out as he gets older, I can't help thinking that, given his record, he's a dubious choice for a TM advert and he'll have one of his meltdowns and embarrass everyone. But maybe not, maybe it'll be the making of him. I feel sorry for him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRgu3V6Ex_A Bit of a dupe, poor lad.
