Why he might be annoying:

    He was sentenced to 120 hours of community service for punching and spitting on two garbage collectors who refused to empty his recycling bin (2008).
    He said he left 'Death in Paradise' because answering the 'same questions' from fans for seven years made him realize that his storyline had 'gone nowhere.'
    He was kept off the 'Strictly Come Dancing' post-series live tour after being accused of bullying behavior that reduced partner Amy Dowden to tears (2018).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His parents were immigrants from Dominica.
    He was a dancer in videos by David Bowie and Wham! and the movies 'The Great Muppet Caper' (1981) and 'Little Shop of Horrors' (1986).
