This is just a ps to the earlier post on the X Factor. I didn’t mention that I also don’t like Dermot O’Leary presenting the show.
I much preferred Kate Thornton. Now I know a lot of women think Dermot’s a good looking chap and all that, but I must be seeing a different vision. I also thought he was rude to Celine Dion in the final show last night when the acts found out who were going through to next week.
Celine had just sung her new song and he was asking her about the acts she had helped and who she liked. She started to go through the names and had to be cut short because of it being a live show and timing etc.
Dermot O’raspy voice said Celine Dion, she can sing and she can talk. Excuse me Dermot but who is the multi talented, multi millionaire, Oscar winning, Grammy winning artist here?
Get back in your place!

Yea i agree please bring back Kate its not the same without her!. I musy admit i did like dermot on Big brother but i dont think he can handle a show as big as this and is truing to make it all about “me me me me me” where as Kate knew and understood that the programe was about the contestants… (and the judges every once in a while).And why does Dermot hold the mic so close to his mouth???.He was/is very unprofessional!.BRING KATE BACK!.

Yes I was just saying exactly the same thing to Hubby yesterday. I didn’t really know what it was I didn’t like, but then he really was rude to Celine Dion. I don’t like Fearne Cotton on the ITV2 follow up show either…

Hi Cathy
Glad we’re on the same wavelength. Funnily enough there must be a lot of people out there who feel the same.
The stats on my blog have gone mad tonight with various search terms linked to this topic. Not surprisingly some from Canada.

Hi Kath
Thanks for your comments too! I also don’t like the way he re-question the judges about the comments they made, so the poor contestants have to listen twice to why their performance wasn’t liked!

Just found your blog in Google by searching on “Dermot O Leary Celine Dion Rude”. I was wondering if anybody else out there thought what he said to Celine Dion was a disgrace.
I’m not a fan of hers, and usually like him. But no longer, I thought his “she can talk” remark was disgusting.

Hi Phil
Seems like a few people thought the same. Be interesting to see if anything is made of it ie an apology.
