Asked if she had enjoyed the awards, Ms Fricker said: “No, I hated it. It was mind blowingly, numbingly boring. It was a mess. Badly organised. I was cringing in my seat.”

Ms Fricker told the Irish Independent that the presenting duo of ‘Raw’ actor Keith McErlean and ‘Republic Of Telly’ star Jennifer Maguire — who gave out a number of industry awards — were “disgraceful”.

We scrub up well.

In fairness.
