When it comes to investigative journalism, Carte Blanche presenter Derek Watts is a pro…but if there’s dancing involved, it’s quite the opposite!
The veteran TV personality make an appearance in a Castle Lite advertisement which had the Twitter timeline in stitches!
DEREK WATTS MAKES A CAMEO IN BEER AD
Derek Watts – who has been the face of Carte Blanche for over three decades – made his cameo appearance in the beer advertisement this week.
In the sketch, the well-known face is seen visiting a bar after having a rough day.
He said: “I’ve been on TV for 38 years and people think I’m this really serious guy. Maybe I am serious, but the world is a serious place”.
In a typical barman vs patron scene, Derek is then handed a beer – a Castle Lite – to “drown his sorrows”.
After one sip, his mood is instantly uplifted and the TV personality then hits the dance floor to shake off his problems.
But what happened next is nothing short of amusing…
‘ISSA NO’ FROM TWEEPS
Whilst the video of Derek Watts burning a hole on the dance floor was nothing short of entertaining, his dance skills were ripped to shreds by tweeps.
Here’s what they had to say:
@Zu_Noma: “What an absolute cringe-fest. It’s a hell no from me”
@lionelbastos: “That wasn’t dancing… that was an impression of a giraffe on rollerblades”
@Twish_Twish: “It was painful then it got awful… Cut cut!”
@ko1979ko: “No man! This should come with a disclaimer…before this ad even begins!”
@leighbelleking: “It doesn’t have to be good. It just has to get people talking about it. That said, it’s awful”
Fellow investigative journo Eusebius McKaiser added of Derek Watts’s dancing: “It’s a No from me. Nooooo! No Golden Ticket. Try again next year baba”
