The ongoing drama between Twink and RTE takes a surprising turn! In a shocking revelation, Twink, the beloved panto star, claimed she's been banned from RTE, but the station vehemently denies this, calling it a 'fairy tale'. Twink, whose real name is Adele King, had an emotional outburst in an interview, accusing RTE of snubbing her and calling them 'idiots'. She expressed her hurt and confusion over not being invited to appear on The Late Late Show, a show she believes she played a significant role in keeping alive.
But here's the twist: RTE insiders claim there is no ban, and they've even reached out to the 74-year-old entertainer to clear the air. They invited her to a meeting, showing their willingness to resolve the issue. Twink, however, feels rejected and hurt, stating that her plea to the Director General, Kevin Bakhurst, went unanswered.
The controversy deepens as Twink questions why she isn't invited to the show, especially during the festive season when she's set to play the Queen of the Fairies in Cinderella. She argues that the show's talent pool is small and that her absence is a loss for the viewers who pay the license fee. And this is the part most people miss—Twink's passionate plea has divided opinions. Some believe she's an iconic entertainer who deserves a spot, while others argue that show decisions are not personal and should be left to the editors.
Adding fuel to the fire, Twink's former colleague, Frank McNamara, praised her past performances on the show, calling her an 'extremely gifted entertainer'. But the question remains: Is Twink being unfairly treated, or is this a case of artistic differences and editorial choices? The debate is open, and we want to hear your thoughts. Do you think Twink should be on The Late Late Show? Is RTE handling this situation appropriately? Share your opinions in the comments below!
