Curly Watts
A few years back he* actually released a single in an attempt to kick off a music career.

This coincided with me doing some work experience at Rock FM where he was due to do a short slot just before they played it.
When I said hello to him he totally blanked me before pulling the whole diva routine to a passing assistant because he hadn't got a drink yet and was having to wait 10 minutes longer than expected for his 30 second 'segment'.

Curly. Fucking. Watts.

The guy couldn't even sing.

*Obviously not, the actor who played the insufferable twat...apparently the role wasn't a stretch for him

I think he may have appeared in Regents Park
wearing a dirty old mac with his bollocks hanging out of his trousers going: "ggrrrrrr..." to a bunch of schoolgirls...

(Well, whoever it was looked a hell of alot like him).

Hmm, Wikipedia doesn't seem to have that listed
I guess it's just not been updated yet...

Hahah!
"After a short break from acting while recovering from alcohol addiction,[1] in May 2000 Kennedy released a song and album named Bulldog Nation with his band The Bunch of Thieves... The single peaked at number 70 in the UK Singles chart.

Kennedy returned to Coronation Street a few months later" :D

Fuck!
Now I've got his awful fucking song stuck in my head. I remember them doing a piece on this on Look North. I've never fully recovered from the horror.

Are you from
Preston, perchance? I vaguely seem to remember this..

No, but Rock FM is indeed Preston :D
You mean you heard him do his slot?

I was on the radio myself that day. The call in was about being dumped and the DJ asked me if I'd ever been dumped myself, I wasn't actually expecting to be spoken to as I was just quietly having a tour of the studio so I just said the first thing that came into my head

"Nah, I always get in there first!"

The boyfriend was NOT impressed with me.
