Late Late Show Viewers Weren’t Impressed With ‘Distasteful’ Photo Shared in Last Night’s Show

Megan Cassidy

Viewers of last night’s Late Late Show were less than impressed with an ‘insensitive’ photo of Seamus Coleman shared during a photography segment. 

A photo of the moment the Irish footballer suffered a serious leg break was featured in the segment about a photography competition, with Ryan jokingly exclaiming “Bend it like Beckham”. 

One Twitter user wrote: “Shocking and distasteful of The Late Late Show to celebrate the photo of Seamus Coleman horror tackle last year! Best wishes to him resurrecting his career!”

Another added: 

‘How does Ryan Tubridy keep doing it Bend it like Beckam indeed – that was Seamus Coleman’s broken leg. – bad enough showing picture without warning! @FAIreland @offtheball‘ 

Another viewer commented: “Ah now, having Seamus Coleman’s leg break as an ‘award winning’ picture is taking the mick, the poor fella”.

The Republic of Ireland captain underwent surgery on a fractured right tibia and fibula he suffered in a World Cup qualifier back in March and made his Everton return just last month.
