I used to like him before he was in that advert "calm down dear, it's only a commercial" and they use to have it on over and over again just like the go compare advert so after that I hated the guy and used to mute the TV every time he came on.

All the same R.I.P, wasn't his fault that advert annoyed the crap out of me lol.
