Don’t you think we’ve had enough now, Mr Spence?

Louie meets Emma Bunton in his typically dignified and restrained manner. Oh for pity's sake act your age, man.
Blog: All right, enough’s enough, writes David Burrows.
I was quite happy to laugh at the antics of the non-entity that is Louie Spence when he was the subject of borderline schoolyard bullying at the hands of Harry Hill on the quite brilliant TV Burp.
But these things have a way of spiralling out of control. Remember Mr Blobby? Well, it’s happened again.
If you haven’t heard of Spence, consider yourself fortunate.
He is the “star” of the reality TV show Pineapple Dance Studios on Sky.
But more importantly than that, he appears to think all you need to do to become famous is to ensure that every time someone points a camera at you, you mince around like someone attempting a complex dance move after their spine has been removed.
Unfortunately, other people seem to agree and now he has become a “celebrity” (but only in the “I’m a…Get Me Out of Here” sense of the word).
Spence is the most pointless creation in the whole of reality TV. And if that isn’t a bold statement, I don’t know what is.
When Harry Hill first started mocking him, I mocked along. Mock the Weak, if you will.
But by the end of the series I was yelling at the TV, such was the irritation I now felt as his mere presence. Look at me. Look at MEEE. LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!
I didn’t think I could get more irritated. But today I am. The source of my irritation? The beautiful Kylie Minogue and Emma Bunton (I never thought I’d say that).
You see Spence turned up at the Premier of Sex and the City 2. And, true to form, while the other celebs just posed for the camera, Spence went to default setting. LOOOOOOOOK AAAAAAAAATTTTTTT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He dived at the feet of Ms Bunton and Ms Minogue.
He pulled some bizarre downward facing dog yoga move in front of the pop princess, while kissing the one-time Spice Girl’s feet as if he worshipped the ground she walked on.
And what’s wrong with these pictures?
Well, do you see Kylie taking the perfect opportunity to bring her knee up into his chin and render him unconscious? No. You do not.
Do you see Emma kicking him full in the face, while screaming obscenities which would be translated by a family newspaper as: Please go away, I find you a tad annoying.
No.
These bone fide celebs are laughing along, playing the game. Justifying his worthless existence.
God knows reality TV has turfed out some morons in its time, but with Louie Spence it has gone a step too far.
Or possibly a quick-step too far.
LOOOOOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
No. Sod off.

Couldn’t agree more. Louie Spence is a shameless narcissist with an inflated ego that’s desperately attempting to mask a complete lack of talent.

Haven’t you just committed a cardinal sin by giving him the attention and column inches that he so desperately craves? Good to get it off your chest though :-)

I suppose Mr. Spence’s homosexuality doesn’t have a bearing on this blog?
Report abuse
Any reason in particular why it should?

Mr Spence’s sexual preferences have no bearing on my comments.
His lack of any obvious talent and his opinion that all he has to do is act like an insufferable show-off to get his face in the media is what gets my goat.
I couldn’t care less if he is gay, straight, bisexual or has taken a vow of celibacy.

Obvious lack of talent? He is an accomplished West End dance performer. Let him have his 15 minutes of fame. You clearly want fame else you wouldn’t write such homophobic twaddle in order to draw attention to yourself.
Report abuse
Not once in the article has Burrows mentioned that Louie Spence is gay therefore to call it homophobic twaddle is a complete exaggeration. The fact is that the man is making the most, if not too much, of his 15 minutes of fame, well good for him, but I would rather he did it with a little more dignity/decorum because his actions are just plain embarrassing!

If it was a piece written about a person who happened to be straight, would you complain about it being heterophobic twaddle? I see no reference to Mr Spence’s sexuality in the blog item, so one would assume the answer has to be yes.
Report abuse
No gay person I know (and they number a few) would act so over the top and with so little self respect and dignity as Louis Spence does. I don’t think he is gay because he’s certainly doing the gay community no favours portraying homosexuals as clowns, more like taking the **** out of them!
Report abuse
And you clearly also want your 15 minutes of fame infering that the author of the blog has written homophobic comments. Any one with half a brain can clearly see that this is false, and your comments may even constitute a libellous statement…
Report abuse
so if he was black you would have called this block racist?
or if he was a jewish you would call this block anti-semitic??
or if he was a woman you would call this blog sexist???
or if he was Polish you would call this blog zenophobic????
or if he was older you would say this blog was ageist?????
so the only person safe to criticise is the straight, white, Christian, young male? Anything else an you get accused of nonsense!
Perhaps you are the homophobe H. St. John Peasbody and that is why you brought it up?

What a sorry pathetic excuse for a human being.

Come on folks, no harm, no foul. It takes all sorts – leave a guy alone and concentrate your vitriol on truly deserving candidates – murderers, rapists, etc.
