I havent seen the show yet, i am hoping I can see it tonight, I have always loved freddie starr, but I also have always known, that all comedians are miserable in real life, you simply can,t be that funny all the time, we put him on the pedestal, and now we want to push him off, we have a habbit of doing that don’t we, lets be honest, donna married him twice, she had kids and toook them to live with him, if she felt so bad about it why did she do it twice? could money have anything to do with it? nice life? I hope I dont change my mind after I watch the show, because the guy became famous because he is outrageous, because he is who he is, maybe his material is the same as it was, but hes still getting paid to perform, so who is the loser here? he’s still doing ok thank you, and what ever he does, I loved him years ago, and that will not change, he deserves to be famous, marry an outrageous man twice after living in the same house, then surely you know what to expect from him, maybe donna is at fault here indulging freddie in his attitude to home life???

Freddie Starr amazes me, he has been doing the same “comic” material since the 70s. The speeded up song routine, Vincent. His Hitler stuff, same old same old. And he is not funny. Massive gaps in between his lines.

I saw him live once, waste of 45 minutes that was, (yeah 45 minutes)

Freddie Starr, incredibly overrated

Oh, and another thing. I was told by his Personal Assistant that he DID eat that Hamster!

I had the great misfortune to work with Freddie Starr for a summer season in Great Yarmouth in the 1980s. I remember him as a vile, arrogant, selfish, and cruel person with a nasty valium dependency. Everyone around him hated him. At least back then he could make people laugh but he’s not even funny any more. He has no respect for anyone or himself and I feel really sorry for his family. Freddie - you are and always have been a worthless bag of shit!

I saw funnyman freddie starr on the telly last night. What a knob. I had no idea he was such a lazy, rude, arrogant arsewipe. And he hasn’t gone a bit loopy or weird he’s just an idle wanker. His wife deserves a medal for putting up with such a waste of space. Freddie - you’re a tosser!

Freddie Starr is a male chauvanistic arrogant prick. He was rude and arrogant and I feel sorry for his child being brought into the world by a gimp like that. Sam Fox seemed so nice and normal, she did herself proud. Freddie you wanker!

I honestly thought this discussion was finished weeks ago….obviously I
was wrong. So come on you lot….. who’s sticking up for Fred’s wife Donna and thinks she’s living with a right selfish plonker? And how on earth did such a little selfish dwarf get such a stunning wife……was it just magic?
How did ugly morbidly fat Les Dawson or Wrinkly old Brucie get such stunners?
Ooooh’ now that’s a really hard question…money…money…money and stardom.
French President….Mick Jagger…..Rod Stewart….Hu!
For years people have raved about Freddie Star because he is different. Now after nearly 30 years on T.V. small minded country vegetables like you lot think he’s a wanker……….. after 30 years????…….who’s the twat?….childish more like…Ta!

i have just got home after an 18 hour round trip. entertaining isn’t what it’s made out to be. Unlike freddie starr though, i will get up in the morning and take my kids to school. (and i havn’t come home with £20000 in my pocket. i work f ing hard but no way will i make demands on my wife as if i have just earnd my right to do sod all around the house. I have to get up and fix gear, do the book work, work on new material and do it all again tomorrow. Freddie you don’t know when you have got it good. your wife is to good for you. i’ll take her on and show her what it is like to be respected and not used. without her you would be out of work.

I was totally stunned by the behaviour of Freddie Starr. He was Mr Misery throughout. His attitude was it’s his house and he can do and say what he likes in it. I could understand this point of view if he lived alone, but married with kids he should show an example. Sorry Mr Starr you’re not funny anymore. £20,000 a night means nothing. You’re a dwarf of a man who thinks he’s wonderful. I’m sure a lot of fans will be disgusted. Enough said!

How anyone can condone Freddie’s behaviour is beyond belief. He should try working 6 day weeks for 52 weeks a year to bring in £20k and see what stress is really like! He is a dinosaur of a man and should crawl back into the cave he came out of. By the way did anyone see the look of fear in his stepsons eyes when he was around???
Congratulations to Ms Fox who shone throughout. Poor Donna. How long will this marriage last after this episode?

Well Richie you’re probably right - I too may have lost the plot - but lets be sensible here…..
How many top entertainers go a bit loopy? Tons and tons…..Tommy Cooper - Benny Hill - Jacko - Britney - George Micheal - and have you seen Barry Humfries off stage with his glaring wild stare…….So people really need to appreciate the mental pressure and problems assosiated with being a star performer……trying to as they say ’switch off’ is not just a matter of walking off stage it sometimes takes a day or two.
If like Ken Dodd or the late great Bob Monkhouse you are always thinking about comedy and gags…..you live your life nearly always on stage and can’t let go.
Finally we’re talking here about all walks of life….. severe mental stress and pressure changes people……and some cope better than others . . . . Cheers!

Roy, I’m afraid you too have lost the plot.
Earning £20,000+ per night doesn’t give anyone the right to treat others like shit.
His missus deserves a meddle.
I am a proud scouser but Freddie did absolutely nothing to promote either himself or the ‘pool last night. I am with the others - if he gets any more airtime I’ll be switching channels.
The other three participants in the programme shone whilst Freddie faded even more into his assured obscurity.

Well what a suprise everybody now hates Freddie…… what a shower of small minded pillocks you all are.
Freddie is not a normal run of the mill bloke……and he’s not an old fat has been either.
Why should he have to fit in with your pathetic ideas on being a caring husband bla bla.
He frequently travels the world….he’s been a millionaire for years…..a nights work is probably for £20,000+….. so why shouldn’t he do just what he wants?

The idea to put him on wife swap was bloody stupid…..crackers……and you lot should be ashamed of yourselves for getting the knives out so quickly.
Rock on Freddie….. I still think you’re ace!…….but a bit weird……cheers!

What a massive jism Freddie is. He goes on like a proper moaning gash. And when he whistles at the cat - priceless!! I give him big smack he naughty goose-step bleeder.

Oh dear. I live in hope that Freddie’s wife moves into the Fox residence and washes her hands of her dominating husband.

I was so looking forward to seeing freddie starr on wife swap as he is a legend, I thought he would have taken the opportunity to show all his fans what a great entertainer he is and a great family man but he showed all what he really is , Disrespectful to women, A self centred man who obviously could not manage his career on his own and if his poor wife ever left him I dont think we would hear much of him at all, I could not believe my ears when I heard him whistle to his son like he was a pet dog.
I have seen him twice at the grand theatre in Lancaster. The first time was a real treat but second time in 2007, I thought he seemed to be loosing the plot a bit. He could still be a great legend but he needs to prove he can still do it and gain respect from his many fans.

So nice to see that the general public know a wanker when they see one. Donna should have her own show and Freddie should go crawl under a rock.

I think Sam Fox was a saint to not bash him over the head with a frying pan - it might have been the first time he’d ever seen one.

I had no idea Sam Fox was gay - when did that happen?

I was disgusted watching Freddie Starr on Celebtrity Wife Swap last night. What a self centred fat slob he is.
I was also incensed to see him smoking indoors with 3 children in the vicinity. In this day and age of Smoking being banned in the workplace I was suprised that it was allowed. There were people “working” on this show e.g. Samantha Fox, cameramen etc.

Presumably Freddie knew when he entered an Agreement with the Ch. 4 programme makers of Celebrity Wife Swap exactly what he was letting himself in for.
If only he had been good natured and gracious, it could have done wonders for his flagging career. By his pathetic and indifferent attitude during the show, he has merely shot himself in the foot and done himself no good at all.
