‘Inspired by Kardashians, endorsed by RTÉ’: Late Late faces backlash
Amanda Brunker caused an absolute Twitter storm last night when she received Botox on The Late Late Show.
Amanda told Ryan that she "can't understand why people think it's a controversial thing".
"I want to look like a fresher me. I don't want to look different. I don't want to look distorted. I'm 42, I'm not going to pretend to people that I don't get it done, because that's a bit fake."
Well folks… I genuinely don't know what all the fuss was about…#TheLateLateShow pic.twitter.com/sTQcCLUKYl

Listing the procedures that she has had done in the past, Amanda continued: "I've had a boob reduction, I went smaller. It was one of the best things that I ever did. I did get my lips done once – it's sorer than the Botox. I did really like it, I didn't think I would like it.
"Life is very short, and despite what people think, I'm not that vain. I just want to reflect on the outside, a little bit of how I feel on the inside."
The show then continued onto Dr Eithne Brenner coming on stage to administer Botox to Amanda, who was sitting on a stretched chair in the middle of the studio.
However, Twitter was having none of it, and went ape when it became clear that the Late Late dropped a musician from playing to instead administer Botox.
If #LateLateShow is representative of the country then we're all f**cked. A talented musician cut to show an idiot getting botox. #latelate

If Ryan Tubridy had Botox he'd double his weight.#LateLateShow

So Lisa Cannys music performance was cut from #LateLateShow to give more air time to Brunker getting Botox

Amanda Brunker. I heard she was on. Can you imagine Gay Byrne interviewing her. He'd rather get fired.#LateLateShow #reallatelateshow

Sorry Amanda, but clearly the whole thing is quite controversial.
