He has more than 20 years of broadcasting experience, but Late Late Show host Pat Kenny proved no match for rock idol Pete Doherty last night.
The RTE star was put firmly in his place by the Babyshambles frontman, when Pete refused to be questioned any further about his much-publicised drug habit or love life, instead turning the tables on Kenny.
“I don’t know if you could name a song that I’ve written?” he asked the broadcaster, to which the clearly unprepared host could only reply: “No, possibly not.”
“I don’t understand why this has to be the be all and end all of how you look at someone and judge someone,” Pete said of his drug problem.
“The last 12 questions you’ve asked me have been about drugs,” he added, before pulling his hat over his eyes and refusing to engage any further, leaving Pat at a loss for words.
In a bid to recover from the embarrassing blunder, Kenny went on to ask the Babyshambles singer to play a song for the audience, before quickly putting an end to the disastrous interview.
