Collymore quits after losing his cool

Oct 8 2004

 

Former Aston Villa player Stan Collymore stormed off the set of television show The Farm yesterday.

The shamed striker quit Five’s rural reality show after claiming he could not stand to be around Vanilla Ice, real name Robert van Winkle, who he described as lazy.

Collymore, who timed his appearance on the show with the publication of his autobiography, had already had verbal clashes with the ‘90s rapper.

The final straw came when Vanilla was still in the bathroom, despite several requests from female contestants for help with the daily farm duties.

“Get him out!” Collymore shouted at Rebecca Loos, who is managing the farm this week.

“F***ing on the toilet... does it not bother any of you?” he demanded of the other farmhands.

“It does, Stan, but what can you do? You can’t drag him off the loo,” said Debbie McGee, but Collymore was having none of it. I want him out working - and if he f***ing don’t, I’m off,” he stormed.

And with that he left, despite pleas from the other contestants.

Collymore, who also played for Leicester, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, complained of missing his children and was disappointed Terry Christian had been voted off.

The footballer’s departure followed a heart-to-heart with Ms Loos, who admitted she had feelings for him.
