‘Virtue signalling bore!’ Andrew Pierce takes aim at David Tennant after hosting ‘car crash’ Baftas: ‘He’s the reason I stopped watching’
Baftas host David Tennant has been branded a “virtue signalling bore” in a scathing attack by GB News host Andrew Pierce.
The Doctor Who and Rivals actor took centre stage for Sunday’s Baftas ceremony, where he took aim at Donald Trump and branded the US President a “villain”.
Tennant also targeted actor Sebastian Stan who was nominated for his portrayal as the US leader in The Apprentice.
The host jibed: “Donald Trump says he hasn’t seen The Apprentice because it’s not on Nickelodeon.”
Delivering his verdict on the Baftas ceremony, GB News host Andrew Pierce declared: “He’s the reason I stopped watching.
“He’s a virtue-signalling bore.”
Agreeing with Andrew, Showbiz Commentator Paula London claimed that Tennant should have “kept his mouth shut” about US politics and made his views clear on Donald Trump.
London told GB News: “He is boring, and a lot of people have said that last night was a bore fest, mainly because he was hosting, and I think it was a very bad taste to speak about Donald Trump, calling him a villain.

“He should have more respect for the President of the United States, and obviously there’s audiences there from all around the world. I think he should have kept his mouth shut about that.”
Admitting that she was “forced to switch off” the Baftas, cohost Dawn Neesom offered her view on David Tennant’s hosting skills.
Dawn said: “I watched it at the beginning, and saw it was David Tennant, and I’m sorry, I just switched off.
“He did 500 miles, the song that he opened with, and it was like, really?”
Agreeing with Dawn, London then added: “A lot of people don’t like him.”
Andrew concluded: “Wasn’t it last year he was either presenting or winning a prize when he was rude about Kemi Badenoch?
“He said, ‘shut up, Kemi Badenoch’ or something?”
London responded: “Yeah, I don’t know who he thinks he is.”
