Pete Doherty Voted Worst Celebrity Dad

• Tuesday, 11 April 2006

---

With Father’s Day looming, online greeting card retailer www.remind4u.com wanted to find out who we think is positively pitiful when it comes to parenting skills….so hot on the heels of the results of the Best Celebrity Father survey, it only seemed fair that they should ask the great British public who they believe to be the worst.

The nation has spoken and in first place is Baby Shambles’ Pete Doherty; it would appear his rock and roll antics are not regarded as favourably as the hands on approach of David Beckham and Jamie Oliver when it comes to being a father. In second place comes music icon Michael Jackson who has raised much controversy over the way he has chosen to raise his children. Actor/singer Darren Day comes in just behind in third. It seems that Darren’s alleged quote ‘I don’t do family’ has struck a chord with those surveyed.

Although Father’s Day is not traditionally as commercial as Mother’s Day, it does appear that we do have changing values regarding what we expect from Dads and prefer an altogether more sensitive man who helps lighten the load of their spouses and gets stuck in with the day to day challenges of raising children.

To make sure that all those fantastic fathers out there don’t get forgotten on Father’s Day, why not surprise them with a personalised greeting card available to buy online from www.remind4u.com from only £1.99. Simply log on to remind4u.com, choose your card, personalise and post!

Let your dad know how much he means to you this Father’s Day with a little help from remind4u.com
