Sir Terry attacks "talentless" presenters

Sir Terry Wogan has attacked television presenters - branding most of them "talentless".

Speaking about one particular host, who he declined to identify, the legendary DJ said he was surprised he had ever made it to screens.

"I shall never name names. But watch TV for half an hour and you'll see one of them," he explained to Heat magazine. "Then there are all those who don't even have charm, let alone talent. Lord knows how they got on telly."

Sir Terry did comment a few names among many, however, first flagging up Ant and Dec. He commented of the pair: "People love them and quite right too. They have charm."

Another unlikely favourite is his Radio 2 stablemate Russell Brand, who he called "very intelligent". "He's quick and clever," he added. "Maybe a bit immature, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of immaturity."
