Keith Barry responds after RTE Late Late Show viewer describes his appearance as 'pure muck'

Mentalist Keith Barry has defended himself on social media after one Late Late viewer described his appearance as "pure muck".

The returning star is about to launch his new RTE show and joined Ryan Tubridy for a short segment on Friday night.

But that little segment wasn't to the taste of some viewers who took to social media to slate the star.

One said: "Jesus Christ how boring @KeithpBarry on the @RTELateLateShow, tails, tails, tails we could all predict it. Pure muck."

But Barry jokingly chimed back in and said: "Sending positive vibes right back at ya."

Another viewer defended Barry, saying: "His live shows are unbelievable, he only had 4 minutes tonight, hard to get anything done in that time."

To which the TV star responded: "Thanks - that’s live TV for ya - sometimes it doesn’t all work out to plan. No harm done."

Keith also confirmed he is well and truly "back" with a tour and tv show all getting up and running in the next month.

He tweeted: "Ready to rock on @RTELateLateShow. Reconnected tour starts April 29 and TV show is on @RTEOne starting tomorrow week at 9.45pm. I’m back!"
