Tim Healy blasts Big Brother 'bully' Michael Madsen

Jan 22 2012 by Coreena Ford, Sunday Sun

Denise has been filmed in the house talking of her regret at her hot tub antics, fearful that her children Matthew, 22, and Louis, 10, may have seen her topless.

She needn’t have worried. Tim said: “Matthew doesn’t like Michael but he doesn’t watch the show. Louis watched the afternoon censored version, but he’s stopped watching it because he says it’s boring.”

Tim and Michael - Head to head

Tim Healy has announced that he'll "sort him out" should Michael Madsen continue to bully Tim's wife Denise. Here's the tale of the tape for all you fight fans:

Tim 'Tyson’ Healy

AGE: 59

HEIGHT & WEIGHT: Vertically challenged, bantamweight

BACKGROUND: Born and raised in Benwell, Newcastle, but now lives in a leafy suburb in Cheshire.

FAMILY SUPPORT: Married to Denise for 23 years. Two sons, Matthew, 22, Louis, 10.

PREVIOUS FIGHTS: Had a few scuffles in Auf Weidersehen, Pet but his character Dennis was better known for his peace-keeping. Had a famous run-in with Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner who slated Denise’s skating ability, and didn’t hesitate to tell him to back off.

STRENGTHS: Oozes patience, calm authority and chivalry in defence of his wife’s honour, an all-round affable Geordie. Fighting fit after recent surgery on his legs to unblock his arteries.

WEAKNESSES: Wearing a frock as Lesley in Benidorm – not an ideal outfit for a ding dong with a fellow actor.

VERDICT: His height and weight may not pack the same punch as Michael’s . . . but never cross a man who’s standing up for his wife.

Michael 'Mad Dog' Madsen

AGE: 54

HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6ft 2in, heavyweight

BACKGROUND: Born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of an Emmy-winning poet and playwright and a firefighter, and now a Hollywood regular.

FAMILY BACK-UP: Two ex-wives. Married to DeAnna Madsen for 15 years. Five sons. All in the US.

PREVIOUS FIGHTS: Hacked off the right ear of a cop playing sadistic ex-con Mr Blonde in the classic Reservoir Dogs, met his maker as Budd the assassin in Kill Bill 2. More into his poetry and photography than dust-ups.

STRENGTHS: With 190 movie roles under his belt he’s adept at playing the good guy just as much as the villain, and has lots of confidence ... but is that an act?

WEAKNESSES: Indulged in whale bothering in Free Willy. Appeared in Scary Movie 4 in 2006 parodying Tim Robbins’s unhinged character from War of the Worlds. Denise Welch.

VERDICT: He may have played the hard man more than a few times but let’s face it – it’s just pretend. And that razor in Reservoir Dogs was just plastic.
