Ronan And Storm

[Theblip]

I’m not a fan of celebrities pushing their loved ones into the spotlight. Chris Evans, Bradley Walsh, Martin Kemp, Peter Andre....they’re all at it, perhaps with the aim of ensuring the family fame and fortune beyond their own careers. But the one who really makes me cringe is Ronan Keating and second wife Storm who he’s so overtly smitten by. Whenever I see him all over her on camera, like on Loose Women today, I wonder how it makes his first wife and their kids feel. Bloody awful, I imagine. Storm and their son even feature in Rohan’s latest video. Anyone agree with my bleating about Keating, or do you still love him...no matter what?

[woofgang]

never did, still don't.

[Barsel]

No, never a fan.

I enjoyed Bradley Walsh with his son Barney but that's about it,I thought a Peter Andre was a hypocrite by pontificating how he wanted privacy for his offspring one minute then next they were doing a shoot for Hello magazine

[jennyjoan]

nah - I'm not fond of him either - but then I don't know the guy.

[gingejbee]

Am I a cynic to suggest that R.K. has a new "music" collection to sell....with him being on that lunchtime show?

[fiction-factory]

Ha- love the "No matter what" punchline.
I disagree about Martin Kemp- Ronan Kemp is an established well known presenter on Capital.

[Georgiesmum]

Ive never seen him with his second wife and I missed him today on Loose Women today., not a programme I normally watch. I would have watched it if I had known he was on, shucks!

I think having a famous parent is more of a curse than a blessing.

I have interviewed several musicians who have one or more parents who are famous, and the reaction they encounter is often "OK, let's see what (insert famous parent(s) name(s) here) can do then …"

They offspring actually has to do more than justify their own talent, they have to get out from under the burden of having famous parents, a problem the vast majority of people don't have to think about.

As for bringing in wives or husbands, that is a decision that they can make for themselves. The vast majority of famous celebrities have partners that no-one would recognise if they passed them in the street - and they are perfectly happy that way.

You're brave Blip, admitting you watch Loose Women!

[andy-hughes]

Further to my post about famous parents - the world of entertainment is littered with offspring who have had a go at a career in entertainment themselves, and not only encountered the negative response I outlined, but found that, far more damaging, they haven't actually inherited their parent(s)' talent, and sharing a name counts for zero in the real world.

[ummmm]

Most people are over their ex after this amount of time.

You're brave Blip, admitting you watch Loose Women!
LOL.
Not a fan of Ronan, never heard of storm but do like The Kemps when I see them on Celeb Gogglebox.

[emmie]

don't care for him all that much to be honest.

[murraymints]

like Ronan and Martin on Gogglebox..but the Sunday morning show is dire.... love love love Bradley walsh and Barnie....what a special bond they have

[emmie]

agree about Bradley and Barney, they make a great double act
