Nevermind the Buzzcocks

[Farmer Reil]

It's not.

But having said that, I wanted to punch Amy Whinehouse this week too.

One day we'll have a show where one of the guests isn't a complete arse. She got better towards the end, a little bit, and was nowhere near Bill Oddie levels, but seriously...

[Steeb]

I thought Bill Oddie was hilarious - albeit unintentionally.

[Iain76er]

Who was that black woman who used to be on quite a bit that hated Lamarr with a passion? Well, I guess the feeling was more than mutual. I think she was in the Supremes or something.

[Thrilla]

Who is this Amy Whitehouse? I only caught a bit of the show yesterday and found myself attracted to her. Tell me more.

Unless that isn't the name of the goth chick that was seemingly drunk during the show.

She's like Katie Melua, but druggier. And not as hot.

First time I saw Amy Winehouse was on this, she was wasted and they both butchered the song...

I have no idea who that is. Pictures.

I thought last nights episode was brilliant. I like Amstell because he seems so innocent, but then brings out his sarcastic wise cracks, and I can totally relate to him in that way

"You show up here, full of crack"

Also dissing Katie Melua made me want to slap that whorebag.

This episode has been awesome, basically because everyone's been taking shots at Donny Tourette.

[Buford Ripley]

That was brilliant with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre lookalike with the aviators and the beggar's love pose.

"Oi son, you look like one of these"

"What, a hand?"

I love Bill Bailey.

[Katsuya]

Brilliant episode, and if number 5 isn't back next week again...plus it's THE Preston episode

[Farmer Reil]

Is Buzzcocks repeated at some point? I'm guessing Sunday nights?

I missed it due to laziness.

[therockbox]

Saturday at 11:10, well worth watching.

[Cactus Drags]

...THE Preston episode?

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

bwahaha, I'm so glad I had faith in the show after Lamarr had left. And number 5 genuinely was unnerving.

[Liam]

...THE Preston episode?

Apparently he had some sorta hissy fit, but I've not really heard anything about it.

[Lord Nibbler]

They read from Chantelle's biography, and he stormed off. That's what I heard.

Ordinary Boys frontman Samuel Preston has walked out of a recording of BBC Two pop quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

The singer, 24, took exception when host Simon Amstell read extracts from an autobiography written by his wife, Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton.

"Preston just stormed off," said a spokeswoman for the show. "He literally walked out of the building."

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Preston said: "If that was in any other situation, I would have hit him."

He added: "I just had to remove myself from the situation, so I just got up and left."

Team captain Bill Bailey picked a member of the audience to take Preston's place for the remainder of the recording.

Preston said Chantelle thought his actions were "funny" and "sweet".

'Banter'

In the offending passage from Chantelle's book, Living the Dream, she described a photo shoot in which she wore Marks and Spencer clothes.

"I've always loved M&S but it has always been too expensive for me," she wrote, adding that the session made her feel "very posh and upmarket".

Chantelle and Preston met on last year's Celebrity Big Brother

The Buzzcocks spokeswoman said: "It's a shame Preston felt he had to leave.

"Fans will know Simon loves to banter with his guests. It's the nature of the show - and it's not meant in a mean way."

Preston insisted he was "very much up for it" but thought he was "well within his rights" to leave.

Preston and Chantelle met last January in the Celebrity Big Brother house and married eight months later.

Houghton, 23, was planted in the show as a fake celebrity but went on to win. She has since starred in her own series, Chantelle: Living the Dream, on digital channel E4.

Preston was already known for his pop-ska band The Ordinary Boys and their single Boys Will Be Boys charted at number three after the show.

The singer's brief appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks will form part of the new series, which begins on BBC Two on 27 January.

Found this online.

I presume they did more than just read the extract. Otherwise Samuel Preston stormed out because of something his bitch wrote.
