DJ Mista Jam deliberately teased Richard Blackwood on Channel 4’s latest music quiz show, Celebrity PopMaster, hosted by radio broadcaster Ken Bruce. This infuriated Blackwood.
On Celebrity PopMaster, an EastEnders star showed signs of being “upset” after his co-star played a sly joke on him.
Ken Bruce’s new TV version of the iconic radio game included Richard Blackwood, DJ Mista Jam, singer Toyah Willcox, and former Coronation Street star Sally Lindsay. However, a query about a Bob Marley music video caused tension.
Richard knew the answer from the first clue, but as it was Mista Jam’s question, wasn’t allowed to answer. And it appeared Jam had no idea what the track was – leaving Richard outraged and waving his hands in the air.
Jam, who was leading the bunch in points, admitted: “See, this is before my time.” Richard looked gobsmacked as host Ken remarked: “Some real surprise reactions there!”
Jam then said: “I just quite like the fact that I’m really upsetting Richard, so can I go for three points?” With the next clue revealed, Jam was finally about to guess, going for Bob Marley’s One Love (People Get Ready). With Richard gesticulating beside her, Sally fumed: “I don’t think that’s helping, Richard!”
Richard appeared to agree with his answer, but it proved incorrect. He admitted: “I thought that… Do you know what, is it Is This Love?”
Richard was finally correct – but the EastEnders star, best known for playing Vincent Hubbard in the BBC soap, was still first to be knocked out with just six points.
Things became even more tense once it was revealed that Richard’s famous sister Naomi Campbell starred in the music video for the track in question.
