Celebs Go Dating fans all have the same complaint about Marty McKenna’s ‘disgusting’ comments
GEORDIE Shore star Marty McKenna has unsurprisingly riled up some Celebs Go Dating viewers.
The 27-year-old reality TV star has made his debut on the E4 dating show, alongside fellow Newcastle native Nikita Jasmine.
However, his very strong entrance - which saw him proudly state his streak of infidelity and tendency to call women "birds" and "pigs"- hasn't gone down well.
Only a few minutes into the episode, the self-proclaimed "shagging expert" was called out by dating expert Anna Williamson.
In his first meeting with Anna and other expert Paul C Bronson, Marty said: "I'm at the stage now where I'm still in a slaggy rut.
"I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not gonna come here and go on a first date with a bird and say 'd'ya wanna be me bird?'".
American Paul then asked Marty what 'bird' meant, to which he replied: "A girl, yeah it's what we call girls in Newcastle."
After some probing from the love experts, Marty explained he didn't think it was an offensive term: "I've never had any complaints until you complained" and put the phrase into context.
"If we're in a club and me pal says 'ah look at that bird over there would you shag her?', I'd be like 'nah she's a pig'" said the star.
Anna wasted no time calling out Marty's sexist comments, telling him: "It's a bit gutter... You can't be calling women pigs."

The expert wasn't the only one who was furious with the singleton's comments, as hundreds of the show's viewers headed straight to Twitter to discuss.
One called the star "gross", writing: "Banter can be funny and cute but some of the things Marty is coming out with is so gross".
Another complained about the experts' decisions to set Marty up: "Why would they continue with Marty who has just shown what a disgusting human he is?
"Why would you set him up with anyones daughter "
The comments continued: "Marty and his attitude is revolting", with one viewer calling him disgusting: " How can you have Marty on this show when he’s body shamed women and is referring to them as pigs, this is disgusting".
Another agreed: "Cancel that t**t Marty I’ve never heard of him and his attitude is just making me not want to watch this show anymore ".
Anna was also applauded by many for calling out Marty's comments: "Anna calling Marty out for the way he speaks about woman. That's why I like her takes no bullshit".
