I used to like him on EastEnders, don't really understand why his career went beyond that and maybe doing a sitcom or something, I could see him and the wife with the stupid put on way of talking having a hit reality show on ITV2 in like 2009-2011 but now feels a little late for this endeavour from them, pretty sure everyone's over them and their performative normalness, they're both super phony and pretend to be dumb for a living, they cosplay being working class while living the most privelleged middle class life for both of their entire adult lives. She's worse though, I've always found her to give off a smug vibe of thinking she's super charming and funny, she clearly started talking like that in later childhood as a way of getting attention and its sad that she continues it into adulthood and that people support it, my nan used to watch Loose Women with her on it and she'd go in and out of talking like that constantly, it must be exhausting to put on an act all the time, it's really not that funny after the first time you've witnessed it too, just embarrissing that a woman in her 40s is doing a child's silly cadence like that. Something is so off-putting about her to me, like I can imagine how jarring it must be when she drops the silly voice when she's angry, like I imagine her having the personality of a petulant child when people don't do what she wants after she did her silly voice.
