Boyzone star Shane Lynch shocked Late Late Show viewers last night, by swearing live on air and giving the finger to the camera.
The 42-year-old showed up late for Boyzone’s appearance on the show, forcing bandmates Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy to perform without him.
After missing his flight from the UK and getting stuck in traffic, Shane eventually made it to RTÉ for their sit-down interview with Ryan Tubridy – and his behaviour was pretty shocking.
After Ryan played a clip of their first time performing on the Late Late back in 1993, Shane suddenly raged, “Here’s the story behind that clip – I busted my bollocks to get here… do ya see that clip – you can shove up your f***ing hole.”
Traffic is stressful
“Shove it up your fuckin hole”

“That’s what you can do with that clip, and that’s the truth” he said, after sticking his middle finger up at the camera.
Ryan then replied, “We see it as a bit of fun…” before Shane interrupted, “I don’t give a f***.”
After Shane’s outburst aired on RTÉ, many viewers took to Twitter to slam the singer for his behaviour.
Shane Lynch get over yourself #latelate

What a contrast!! . We had Peter O Mahoney. Where would you find a better role model??Then you had Shane Lynch. Where could you find a worse role model??Disgraceful display. Won’t do much for sales. #LateLate
