He’s driving me all over the place. Gearóid has been impressing viewers at home with his skills on the dance floor, and is delighted to say he has received such a positive response from the public, something he was a bit nervous about when he initially signed up.He told us: “I’ve been getting lovely messages. The reaction has been really, really positive.
“The reason I did it was that I thought if I danced with another man, the chances are I’ll look stupid and silly, but if somebody wakes up on a Monday morning and feels a bit better about their situation, it’s worth looking a bit silly for.Gearóid is thrilled with the public’s response, but as a comedian knows all too well about the dark side of social media and Internet trolls. He has learned how to deal with nasty comments online over the years.
“I remember one person sent me a vicious comment years ago when I was touring the UK. Three tweets in, he wrote, ‘Geri Halliwell’s Scream If You Wanna Go Faster album didn’t get what it deserved’. And I just thought, ‘I can dismiss everything you said’.”
