Well, not literally.....

But really put him on the spot about hte kiddy-fiddler jokes.....

Frank didn't know what to say....

I'd have said, "There's no smoke without fire"!!!!

I could see what Matthew Kelly was trying to say, but he didn't come across that well really....bit wierd....I would have preferred a full-on argument rather than the smarmy laughy, trying to keep it nicey-nicey, (but wanted to try and make the audience hate Skinner...but failed) approach from Kelly.

Fair play to Skinner for not trying to shy away from Kelly questioning his morals of making fun of topical items though.....

I thought Skinner handled it well, explained the reasons why he made the jokes and stuck to his guns instead of giving in and saying sorry.

Kelly still looks like a kiddy batty boy IMO - well done to Frank, shame the ponse sitting opposite him made an entertaining show a bit dull

At the end of the day, whatever we may or may not think, in the eyes of the law, he was innocent to the accusations brought against him on that occassion!

I admire Frank Skinner for having the courage of his convictions. He was willing to recount what was said and stick to it. Matthew Kelly gave his serveral oppertunities to either apologise or get out of it, but Frank Skinner kept justifying what he had said.

It has to be said that Frank Skinner did mouth the words 'Thank You' to him after. It seemed very genuine and sincere. Both of them were put in tough situations in that interview and they had to recount things that they properly didn't want to talk about.

Not wishing to get involved, but Matthew Kelly wasn't found not Guilty, he never even faced charges. He was arrested, but there was no case to answer.

Whoever said 'He looks like a kiddy fiddler' should grow up!

NACRO

He does though doesn't he?

Plus he's a coke freak and that was proved. Send him to wherever squalor king barrymore has ended up.

Gordo

and doesn't he have a house down the road from Gary Glitter in Thailand? me thought the homme did protest too much.......

**** me lets hope none of you are ever wrongly accused of such things - someone might think you look like a kiddy fiddler, judge and jury - FFS!
