MancWanderer Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Sex pest? Tabloid hounding? Racial angle? BBC shame with another celebrity? Let’s go. Mileage in this one Quote
boltonboris Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 Relates to an inappropriate text message(s) to a female One Show employee - Broke while he was on-air at TalkShite. I'm sure there'll be allegations of racism considering what the BBC has sat on recently for a white employee, but I imagine that's probably why Beeb are pulling the trigger early on with this - To show people they can/do act (when they previously could, but didn't) Quote
Whitestar Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 Was nowt special as a player or a presenter, how do these people get the gig?? Quote

Yeah I know (Little Britain voice) - I don't subscribe to that theory but some people of colour on X.com seem to be doing (I know that most of those accounts will be fake accounts designed to whip up a shit storm and drive engagement figures up) Quote

I have a sneaky suspicion (& I’m probably wrong) that it’s not that bad. But they’re terrified of making the same mistake after letting Hugh Edwards carry on working. Quote

The tone of it all definitely seems reads as an employment issue i.e. misconduct/gross misconduct rather than criminal Quote
