The Late Late Show 14-5

cson

Stephen Gately's husband Andrew Cowles is set to give his first Irish interview, since the singer's tragic death, on 'The Late Late Show' tonight.

Andrew will be chatting to presenter Ryan Tubridy about his relationship with Stephen, the night he died and why he was so determined to finish Stephen's children's fantasy book 'The Tree of Seasons'.

Performer Twink will also be appearing on the show, to talk about her recent ill-health, which forced her to pull out of her lead role in 'Menopause: The Musical', as well as losing her friend Gerry Ryan.

AdvertisementFormer Labour spin-doctor Alistair Campbell will also be chatting to Ryan about the fallout from the British elections and the heady days of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations, including what it was like to go head-to-head with Bertie Ahern.

Live musical entertainment will be provided by Niamh Kavanagh, performing Ireland's Eurovision entry 'It's For You', and British soul star Plan B, performing his new single.

Stephen Gatelys husband? Mother of gawd the viewing figures from down the country will be shot to ****e.

Ally Campbell should be good in fairness, Tubs will be in his element there.

Major lol at 'British Soul Singer Plan B'; that's all you have these days Tubbo, plan b!

But as always save the best wine for last; Twink. What the ****ing jaysus? I mean theres scraping the barrel and theres gouging the barrel. Twink isn't even in the barrel you'd have thought. Ok, I'm done with the barrel analogies.

Enjoy!

This will be great. Where's me crack pipe?

I think we (the licence payer) should get some of of 'points allowance' to be redeemed against licence renewal, for every time that that twat (Twink) is on the air...

You can guarantee that Cowles will be given an easy ride; no hard hitting questions.

Cowles was in the news recently claiming that Stephen died in his arms. That he and
Stephen were downstairs and Stephen was alseep in his arms "for hours." Cowles thought he was fast asleep when in fact the chap was dead.

Earlier reports said that Gately was found dead and that Cowles was not down with him
when he died. What does one believe?

I remember reading Cowles was up stairs in bed with another guy when Stephen was downstairs

That is correct, now Cowles is coming out with this. I guess we will never get the truth
about that death. It's not like Gately can tell it.

After the week of Aftershock programs, you would thing RTE could have concluded with a political/economic debate on the LLS.

Instead we get more and more inane bullsh1t. How many times has twink and the louis walsh muppets been on already this season?

I'm getting pretty tired of hearing about Saint Gerry Ryan now too.

cson

Are we suspecting a bit of a Joe O'Reilly job tonight then?

Alaister Campbell had a big row on air with Adam Boulton of Sky. Love to see him being similary aggressive with Tubridy, but I'm sure it will just be a love in.

Twink gets far too much time on TV.

Cowles thought he was fast asleep when in fact the chap was dead.

reminds me of:

Ash.J.Williams

that is unbelievable.......

twink.............

Adam Boulton was the one who made that a row, he totally lost it and blew up, pathetic really. Campbell goaded him and Boulton couldn't keep his cool.

Southsider1

Campbell is a genius but was / is dealing with some personal demons too. I don't dislike Twink but she's getting a lot of airtime recently isn't she? We've all heard about her house and her knack of not showing up for her stage show. And Cowles... Well, I've little interest in what he has to tell us. Looking forward to Campbell though - he made Adam Boulton look an even bigger twat tahn usual!:D

Spiritoftheseventies

Id like campbell to asked about David Kelly. For me Kelly's tragic death remains a huge blot on the blair adminstration of which Campbell was heavily involved re the spin

podgemonster

Twink: :mad:! I can only imagine that this 'person' holds incriminating information and is blackmailing RTE so she can still appear regularily on RTE shows.

The other option would be that shes having an affair with someone in power in RTE but I find this highly unlikely. For one she looks like a cross between a beaten dragon and one of those ol ones who sell grapes in prams on Henry Str therefore the seducee would need to be blind. Probably deaf too to drown out the annyoing moan of someone has been smoking 40 a day since she was able talk.

Although given the recent quality of RTE shows maybe the chef exces are blind and deaf.

Why in the name of God are we letting this hasbeen trout onto another Late Late show so she can complain about how her life has gone downhill since her hayday (which was somewhere in the mid 1700s).

We see how the BBC are fond of there elderly actresses like Barbara Windsor but she wasnt on Parky or Johnaton Ross every 6months. Plus what exactly has this dinosaur done apart from a few comedy sketches, Candid camera, surviving the Great Famine and the annual Christmas panto.

I would consider a carcass of one of the pigs who played 'Babe' more of a celebrity than twink.

The fact that shes on the show shows RTE inability to move on from previous 'stars', pull in decent guests and acknowledge what people want for Friday night entertainment.

I hope she is not going to have another "reaction" to medication tonight

yeah, they'll immortalise him forever. It's hard enough for the family to grieve I'd say without it always, always on about Gerry's demise.

'Menopause' stars not on speaking terms

Stage stars Linda Martin and Twink have not spoken to each for weeks according to reports. Martin confirmed that the two women had not spoken after "something happened a number of weeks ago", but refused to go into details and said she was "trying to move on from it".

She told the Evening Herald the disagreement had nothing to do with Twink's decision to opt out of 'Menopause: The Musical' in which they both starred, saying that was a separate issue and down to Twink's health. A source close to the production revealed that there has been growing tensions between the pair since the beginning of the year, but they had put aside their differences for the sake of a tour of the musical.

However, the Herald reports that they had a run-in during the show's run at the Royal Theatre in Castlebar in March. Linda confirmed she is currently no longer on speaking terms with Twink.

Oh man, I hope Tubridy asks her about this. But he wont have the balls to ask her, it will be all fluffy and happiness.... Wish Brendan O'Conner was doing this interview..

MikeC101

Alistair Campbell could be good - I'd imagine Tubs will stay from anything controversial, and Campbell will run rings around him if he doesn't.

Also, Twink....*sigh*

I read that too and that they were drinking heavily and smoking hash with the fella they brought back to the apartment, wonder will they mention that:rolleyes:
Niamh Kavanagh singing the eurovision song, I don't know about anyone else but I thought it was crap the first time I heard it, can't see it being any better this time:(

Ashes to Ashes is on a 9, its all building to the climax next week.

Adam Boulton is a major pain in the arse and started that whole confrontation.

Don't be a silly Billy - Tubs will ask her about (not necessarily in this order) her health (she'll look sad but say but hey Ryan ain't I looking better than I feel - cue audience to clap and cheer), her last phone call to G. Ryan (she'll wipe her eye and refuse to give details of what they were talking about - but vows it will remain private forever - she'll take a sip of water and indicate to Ryan to move on with the discussion) how and when she first met G Ryan (she'll tell the story laughing, crying, rolling her eyes up and saying "I just can't believe he's gone - and you did a great show on the evening his death was announced I watched it from my hospital bed crying).

The questioning will carry on from there on topics like her house, her daughter's singing, her cake decorating business and the alledged new man in her life - during which she will wink, looking doefully at the audience, clap her hands, blow her nose, and plug her autobiography which she decided to write while in hospital - as she thought she was going to die.

She will also say how great the doctors and hospital staff were....yawn yawn.

My parents were on a flight home from their holidays in Nice today and Eric Cantona was sitting opposite them! Thought he'd be on the lineup for tonight but apparently not.

Is it?. I thought it was a kids book written by Stevo.

Anyone else think there is still something suspicious about how he died and where the husband was at the time?. I dunno.

buzzymam

I cant believe he didnt expect that question to be covered. I read some interview he did last week talking about how Stephen died uner his arm on the couch.....so talk about it one day and get hissy the next time he's asked...mmmm not liken that.

tintin67

If Twink even dares mention her cakes or her daughters I'm kicking my set in. This is the 3rd time she's been on a prime time chat show this year FFS. She has to have compromising photos of some RTE high-up. There's no other possible explanation at this stage.
