Alan Carr slates Big Brother
Published Friday, Aug 17 2007, 14:40 BST | By Beth Hilton
The Friday Night Project presenter Alan Carr has slammed Big Brother, saying he hates featuring evicted housemates on his Channel 4 show.
The 31-year-old - who hosts the hit series with fellow comedian Justin Lee Collins - said he would rather "glass” the contestants than interview them.
He told music magazine Word: “It’s the one thing that p***** me off on the Friday Night Project. These f**king morons get kicked out of the house and we have to talk to them. We had Shabnam on and it was irritating.”
The programme airs directly after the Big Brother eviction show on Friday evenings.
Carr said he realised his remarks could get him fired by Channel 4 bosses, but went on: “I hate it. I'd like one with dictators - Pol Pot and Kim Jong Il.
"Imagine Davina doing the eviction interviews - ‘Well, I think Khmer Rouge is a lovely name...’”
