Troubled comic Tony Slattery says he will never name the priest who abused him when he was eight. Tony, 60, reckons outing the paedophile “would serve no social or psychological purpose”.
The comedian, best known as a regular on Whose Line Is It Anyway? in the 90s, has made a new film about his painful past. He said: “I really don’t think it is going to do me any favours in money terms or career advancement. “But it may be a good thing to have done. “That sounds self-aggrandising, but I don’t care – I feel better for doing the documentary.” He said the film, What’s The Matter With Tony Slattery?, was not an attempt at a full comeback to telly work.
