Another music oriented comedy post. Last night I got home in time to catch the always entertaining comedy/music quiz 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks'. Simon Amstell's razor sharp wit has always cut straight to the bone on most of his victims (especially those whose celebrity vastly outweighs their talent). His research on his subjects borders on the academic and provides him with a devastating arsenal of material.
On last night's show he carried out a demolition job on The Ordinary Boys' Preston - one so crushing that Preston stormed off the stage...never to come back. For those not UK based - Preston is the lead singer of MOR group The (Insipidly) Ordinary Boys. He shot to fame not for his music, but for the questionable honour of being a contestant on England's Celebrity Big Brother. His next (and possibly last) cynical publicity stunt was then to marry fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant and Paris Hilton wannabe Chantelle.
The poor bastard never stood a chance. See U2b below:

Amstell is vastly underrated... comedy gold!
BTW, there's a story that Preston's management lined him up for NMTB knowing full well he'd get stick about Chantelle. The plan was always that he'd get offended at some point and storm off.
Obviously nothing to do with the fact that he's been seen out & about with his pre-Big Brother girlfriend. Do us all a favour: ditch the pretence and get back to obscurity.
