Posh ex-soldier James Blunt (or 'Major Boredom' as he should be known) is back in the US trawling his skinny chops around the chat shows and single-handedly reminding the Americans why they sent the redcoats packing in 1778.
This time is was the turn of the unfortunate Ellen DeGeneres, no stranger to dungarees and a woman who has been around more seafood stores than the average harbour cat.
Ellen made the mistake of asking whether James was single, despite the fact that wherever there is a mirror, James has his ideal companion. James replied by offering her his personal details, the modern day Terry Thomas!
"I'll give you my number afterwards. I am actually very effeminate," he lisped to an astonished Ellen, who replied firmly,
"It's not going to work. But thanks for trying."
By which she meant that it had nothing to do with being lesbian, and all to do with being a discerning human.
Still, top notch attempt at humour, Blunt! Consider yourself promoted to General. General Tedium.
