Irish comedian brutally slags off British public on BBC during All-Ireland final

This was not in the script....

In contrast to RTÉ, they bring in special guests and celebrities to add some fun and colour to the show, and to enhance more casual British viewers to the GAA.

This year they had on popular Belfast comedian Vittorio Angelone to provide some humorous insight on his native sport.

However, he hilariously didn't stick to the assignment at hand of enticing more British fans.

When describing the sport of hurling, he said: "I don't think anyone on the pitch would respect anything I had to say whatsoever.

"I don't think anyone should respect anything I have to say to be honest.

"But I don't know how they do any of what they do, it's like if cricketers could run, if sprinters could fight, if fighters could paint, that's what makes hurling, and you don't even get paid.

"It's incredible and I'm aware were part of the pro-GAA propaganda team to get English people to watch, but I think it's too good for you and you should leave us to have what we have.

"And just stick to your own sports which you lose at."

The presenter quickly stepped in, adding: "And that's the views of Vittorio Angelone, not the wider views of the BBC."
