‘Derry Girls’ star Jamie-Lee O’Donnell refuses to answer “misogynistic” age question on talk show
Derry Girls star Jamie-Lee O’Donnell refused to answer a question about her age on a recent talk show, calling it “misogynistic”.The actor, who plays Michelle in the beloved Channel 4 sitcom, appeared on Ireland’s The Late Late Show on Friday and refused to tell host Ryan Tubridy her age.Tubridy said it “might be a rude question” and “you don’t have to answer,” before adding: “Can I ask how old you are?”O’Donnell then replied jokingly that she was 17 years old, but was “very, very wise”.Tubridy then asked the question again, saying, “Would you consider telling me what age you are?” to which O’Donnell said: “This gets on my nerves a wee bit.“It’s always quite misogynistic even if it’s not intentionally misogynistic, because men don’t get the same scrutiny.”Tubridy said he “definitely” would ask a male actor the same question, adding that O’Donnell plays a teenager “so well” and there’s “a compliment in there”.Tubridy then said they could “move on to something else, because I can read a mood when I see it”, to which O’Donnell replied: “I was going to give you a hilarious anecdote, but go ahead.” In a five-star review of the first episode of Derry Girls season three, NME wrote: “Though Derry Girls will be greatly missed when it wraps up for good at the end of this season, the first episode at least proves that the funniest, sharpest sitcom on TV is also bowing out on a high.”Derry Girls now airs every Tuesday on Channel 4, with a catch-up option on All 4.

Kirstie Allsopp locks horns with Nadine Dorries over backlash to Channel 4 privatisation
Location, Location, Location star Kirstie Allsopp knocked heads in a fierce Twitter spat with Nadine Dorries over the privatisation of Channel 4, which airs several of Kirstie's programmes.The pair locked horns after the Culture Secretary wrote an opinion piece addressing the Government’s decision to push ahead with plans to sell off the channel.Nadine, 64, told the British public that it was time for Channel 4 to “fly the nest towards a very exciting future”. In her piece, Nadine wrote that former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher, who set up Channel 4 in 1982, had ultimately wanted it to be “free from the constraints of the state” and described opposition to the move as “lazy, overwrought and ill-informed rhetoric from the Leftie luvvie lynch mob”.Kirstie, 50, who has been a long-time employee of the broadcaster, took to Twitter to disagree with the minister’s decision in view of her 427,000 followers.Yesterday, Kirstie shared Nadine’s article, writing: “Some of the language directed @nadinedorries has been vile 100%. “It’s also crystal clear she doesn’t understand @Channel4, nor why it matters. “Writing this divisive piece abuses her position and illustrates why she is entirely unsuited for the role at @DCMS (the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport).”In a later tweet about Nadine’ piece for The Mail on Sunday, Kirstie questioned whether it was “really ministerial” to describe those contesting privatisation as a “lynch mob” while “at the same time complaining about having been accused of fascism”.Sharing an article about the US Senate passing an anti-lynching Bill, she added: “This piece might make you think twice about using the term.”Reacting to Nadine’s decision last week, Kirstie penned:
