No celeb has had a harder year at work than Alan Carr; first the struggle to keep his identity secret in #TheTraitors, next the challenge of keeping a straight face in Last One Laughing. He must come close to exploding in the latter

instead of running nigel farage's words in quotes, thus spreading his message to the gullible while absolving you, the brave brave journalist, from any negative consequences, you could just run the headline STUPID TWAT BELIEVES EVERYTHING HE'S TOLD

Ignoramus and philistine Kemi Badenouch saying students should not study Englush and "rip-off" degress, the Tories wanting to cut arts, sociology, and anthropology
