I’m not clicking on that link, and I’m pretty sure that the American majority here will care even less than I do what one of the most feeble excuses for a ‘celebrity’ has said on a UK magazine programme. Could be wrong though.

## Google led me to the exchange in question:

Host Tim said: “There’s something quite therapeutic about doing the washing up.”

And Joey asked: “Don’t you think the girl should do it though?”

## Drowned out by boos from the crowd, Tim quickly replied: “No I don’t, Joey.”

So yeah, no one should give a fuck.
