‘I’ve had enough!’ fume Channel 4 viewers as they ‘switch off’ after ‘train wreck’ Chris Packham interview
CHANNEL 4 viewers were left fuming ‘I’ve had enough!’ as they ‘switched off’ after a ‘train wreck’ Chris Packham interview.
The latest instalment of Sunday Brunch, saw hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer welcome a new batch of celebrities on the panel.
But things took an awkward turn when Tim decided to get to know Us singer, Beth Ditto better by asking her a question.
The presenter asked: “Beth what’s your star sign?”
She told him she is an Aries, and then his sparked a conversation amongst the other stars on the show.
Tim quickly realsied the conversation was veering off course.
“Beth the sad thing is I asked you about star signs as a laugh! Just as amusement and now we’re having a conversation about it. Are you a big fan of star signs then? Do you believe in them?,” he said.
Beth noticed she was rambling on as she chatted about horoscopes.
She said: “I’m sorry I don’t want to take up too much space but-”
Tim, who couldn’t resist finishing her sentence said: “But I will!”
Simon quipped that they had a three-hour window, allowing Beth to take her time.
She then humorously told the other celebrities that she would claim the initial hour for herself, leaving them with the remaining two.
The star added: “My mum had a lot of kids, four of us were born in February and she noticed similarities and that’s when I got into it.”
BBC star Chris Packham was then asked if he believed in star signs.
Chris who clearly wasn’t enthusiastic about the topic, replied: “Mate, honestly no. Obviously not, it’s hocus pocus.”
The rest of the guests laughed at the wildlife presenter’s blunt response.
“It is kind of hocus pocus,” Beth awkwardly agreed.
Viewers were not impressed with the topic, with many taking to X/Twitter to reveal they ‘switched off’.
One wrote: “Good lord Sunday Brunch has just gone train-wreck awkward in record time. Beth Ditto and Chris Packham fighting over astrology.”
A second added: “Who is that American woman? Don’t give her any more coffee!”
A third complained: “The awkwardness of the other guests every time Beth opens her mouth is TV gold. Even Chris Packham the ex Punk is about to go off on one!”
A fourth penned: ” Changing channels now, had enough!”
A fifth commented: “Not sure what is going on to be honest, this topic is c**p.”
But not everyone complained, others seemed to enjoy the episode.
One wrote: “Beth Ditto is fabulous!”
A second added: “I don’t care, astrology is fascinating.”
