Robert Downey Junior "compliments" Lorraine Kelly

Viewers of morning TV were apparently concerned by Robert Downey Junior's "compliment" to presenter Lorraine Kelly on This Morning. Downey, in response to Kelly saying how well he looked, passed remark on Kelly's "tits". The outrage, obviously, is that he used the word "tits" at breakfast time rather than the perversity that he felt it OK to issue such a statement at any time.

Kelly has been praised for her handling of the situation in which, despite embarrassment, she thanked him for the compliment.

Maybe next time that twerp on the tube embarrasses us into silence we should rebuke him just in case he becomes another work famous Hollywood actor!
