Late Late not place to discuss ban, says de Bruin

OLYMPIC gold medallist Michelle de Bruin claimed yesterday she was dropped from the Late Late Show, because she refused to talk about her swimming ban shame.

The Dubliner, who said she still feels like a heroine, said the Pat Kenny show was not the place to deal with her past.

She was the only one of the participants in RTÉ’s Celebrities Go Wild not to appear on the Late Late Show. On NewsTalk 106-108fm yesterday, barrister Ms De Bruin said she felt she was treated differently from the other participants in the RTÉ programme.
