Breakfast TV bloodbath!

Krishnan’s claws out for Cole in ex-lover showdown

What happens when you put two of Britain’s most eligible homosexuals side by side on breakfast television’s most famous yellow couch? A real catfight!

Sparks flew on the set of “Wake-Up Britain” this morning as host Krishnan Varma-Rajan interviewed pop star Cole Kennedy, whose sell-out world tour starts in Glasgow in three days’ time.

You’d think the often-flirty Varma-Rajan might be keen to snag a date with the multimillionaire heart-throb, but all the TV hack seemed able to do was ask Kennedy about his ex, Tobias Lyngstad. The transcript is too deliciously uncomfortable not to share.

Kennedy: I’m not here to talk about that. Let’s talk about the album and my upcoming tour.

KVR: You’re the one who invited Toby on tour. You must have known you’d be asked about it.

Kennedy: It’s one small part of a big and really special show. This album is all about ? —

KVR: It’s a publicity stunt. I’m giving you the publicity. Are you back together?

Kennedy: It’s not a stunt. We haven’t seen each other in ten years.

KVR: You haven’t even spoken to him?

Kennedy: Not yet. I’m looking forward to it.

KVR: What are you hoping to get out of this? Why would Tobias agree to do this?

Kennedy: I’m looking forward to getting back out on the road, spending some time with my fans, and sharing what is an incredibly personal album for me.

Varma-Rajan didn’t get his answers, but they’re good questions! They’re also terrible dating form. Never ask about the ex on a first date, Krishnan. Scroll back through their Instagram like everyone else and save your ex-boyfriend questions for date number three.
