COMEDIAN Frankie Boyle has said life in Bromley is like ‘a lobotomy made out of bricks'.
The controversial comic made the statement on Twitter at about 11pm last night (March 18).
He tweeted from his official account @frankieboyle: “I lived in Bromley for a couple of years. It was like someone had made a lobotomy out of bricks.”
The town was the subject of last night’s BBC3 programme Snog Marry Avoid? - broadcast around the same time as Boyle commented on Twitter - with members of the public transformed from “fakery” into “natural beauties”.
The BBC website describes how host Ellie Taylor was transformed into a “walking, talking, living doll, as she takes on a look popular with the locals”.
Boyle is well known for his stint on panel show Mock the Week and has been criticised many times for his stand-up material.
In 2008 he said Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington was like "someone who's looking at themselves in the back of a spoon" and two years later he made jokes about Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey.
