He's always trying to appear super cool and like he's so 'hard' that he's not the kind of person you want to offend, not realizing that the more he attempts to pull off that act the more pathetic and awkward he comes across as. I don't know what he's trying to prove, but he needs to get a grip and realize that if he could just learn to laugh at himself and just clap along with the jokes that he would appear way more 'cool' like he wants to be perceived and that Amstell would probably get bored and leave him alone realizing that he's not affected emotionally by the banter. Amstell just devours people like this who's ego is super inflated, knowing he can easily trigger them with relative ease by just making jokes designed to deflate the terribly fragile sense of warped self pride someone like Preston has. It makes excellent comedy/entertainment lol.

As You Were ☘️

"It's all entertainment." But we forget these people are human. I am a fan of The Ordinary Boys and their music. I used to follow Preston online and MySpace around 2007-2009. I read his blogs and online diary entries after his divorce to his wife, and his humiliation on this show, and he revealed that he spiraled into a deep mental depression and left the UK for many years. And was in a creative/artistic/existential rut. Thankfully, he later returned to the UK, and wrote hits for Olly Murs and was a songwriter and musician behind the scenes. And still works in the music industry. He has a newborn child now, and is still active social media
