Tommy Tiernan infuriates viewers with Becky Lynch interview

Tommy Tiernan's interview with WWE star Becky Lynch angered many viewers on Saturday night.

The presenter referred to WWE fans as "eejits" and many viewers felt he was dismissive of the Limerick native, but he did admit towards the end of the interview that he found Lynch "incredible".

Lynch opened up on being bullied and dealing with fame, as well her excitement ahead of Wrestlemania next month.

One viewer tweeted: "Really annoyed by how dismissive and belittling Tommy Tiernan is being towards Becky Lynch. No respect for her craft or the people involved. Extremely disappointing."

Another said: "Becky Lynch’s interview with Tommy Tiernan is one of the most excruciating things I’ve ever watched. She has the patience of a saint. The highlight is like three quarters of the way in Tommy runs out of things to ask and there’s just ten seconds of dead air."

Someone else added: "Loved Becky Lynch on Tommy Tiernan but don't think he realized how big of a deal Becky is to wrestling."
