I read something about that at the time. He is disgusting. He was lucky Linda Martin didn't give him a clip around the ear, for that comment.

The problem is he’s been praised for years for this sort of bad behaviour and lame ”jokes” and to be honest he doesn’t really have anything else to him so he can’t change.

Could not agree more. Too many people are desperate to cover their own arses with little regard for the victims. Because those in the know are aware that what happened is wrong yet chose the quiet life.
patrick keilty - another head
He’s been dropped from a children’s charity
In the case of most 'celeb partnerships' I'm sure they started off on friendly terms, but the effects of fame, big egos, and the sheer amount of time spent together would put strain on anyone's friendship. Got to be honest, I've never liked Dawn French. I get bad vibes from her in interviews. Loved The Vicar of Dibley, but a large part of its success was the really strong supporting cast. Anyway, tangent...
Wtf! No wonder they got a divorce.
If it's shown I bet viewing figures will be mega.Agree, I wonder if it'll all go quiet for a bit....
He can't really do a big "coming out" show like Schofe did, hoping to get people on side and hoping the stories will go away.
BBC are saying they won't touch him, the publishers have dropped him. What choices does that leave?Will he skulk away, live happily on the money he's earned.......I'm guessing his arrogance won't allow that, even though that's probably his best option at this point.
Is he just going to come out with the "unwise but not illegal" statements? He'll always have people defending him.
Is he going to be seen going for a walk with his elderly mother to gain sympathy....
DW may never be charged with anything, just like PS, as the world doesn't understand the full extent/impact of grooming/coercion/manipulation and those things are so hard to prove.
BBC and others are probably waiting for viewing figures of Would I Lie To You before they decide next steps..... if it has good viewer ratings, that's all that matters to them, and they and other media outlets will have him back at some point, and continue showing his programmes but probably with some firm rules on behaviour...... who knows......
Who were enabled because the crew around them were complicit and silent
Absolutely not!
Same as John Barrowman, and many others.
I think there's always been a silent majority who dont find people like this funny. But because those are silent, the stars are bigged up by their fans and people around them who have a vested interest. And then there are the people around them who humour them or laugh nervously and awkwardly to not appear humourless or troublemakers. The talent has the power, and there aren't the trusted and safe outlets and processes for people to complain. And this sort of thing has always gone on, and always will continue to do so sadly. But hopefully it eventually wont take 10+ years for people to feel safe to complain and no one will be above decency, and in some situations, the law.
His wife did not go to his mother’s funeral, did you know?
I never heard presenters called "The Talent" until the Schofe events........ it's so pompous, egotistical, arrogant........ so I guess it sums them up well
Seriously though, it totally negates the work of other teams, it makes me
I always detested Barrowman, long before I knew anything about him. The only programme I watched that he used to be on was Dancing on Ice and he made my skin crawl.
Very difficult for 'ordinary' people to speak out, in those situations, imo. I bet loads complained about Greggggggggg Wallace or Barrowman, for example, but weren't heeded, or were expected to think their carry on was funny. [shudder]
Also, if you think about it in normal companies/organisations its just the same. No famous people, but its still very hard to speak out about anyone in power. HR teams are there for the company rather than the staff. You also have to laugh off stuff for fear of being seen as a troublemaker or just being spoilsport
Absolutely agree.
Looks like WILTY is still going ahead at the moment.

Enabled by commissioners giving him tv series, and agents, talk show bookers etc it’s not down to the studio crew to call it out
Since they've already had to cut segments and edit out his inappropriate 'jokes' that made everyone else uncomfortable, I suspect he's featuring as minimally in the final edit as they could allow, given that he apparently couldn't be trusted not to do a Nazi salute or other obscene hand gesture when the camera was on himLooks like WILTY is still going ahead at the moment.
