So he's been fired from BBC programs and dropped by his PR agency.
Apperently for "inappropriate comments/behaviour".
What has he done? I hadn't heard anything prior to this?
He seemed the BBC golden boy to take over from Lineker on MOTD.

Unsolicited texts to a colleague according to the Beeb themselves.
I guess without knowing the nature of the tests, it's hard to say but, on the face of it, losing your job over getting in touch with someone you fancy (which is just the inference I've drawn from it-could be totally wrong) seems overly harsh.
Maybe there's more to it?
On the plus side, it means he won't get the Match of the Day gig so, every cloud and all that...
Seems very harsh unless it veered into harrassment style unsolicited texts.
As you said though, silver linings with MOTD.
Let’s face it he’s always been a bit of an a*s.
He seems to think he has a case as he's heavily involved his solicitor.Quote:

Thing is, even if it is 'just' flirty texts (what his wife makes of those is another matter), in the current climate and especially after Huw Edwards, stuff like this is only ever going to end one way.
Sounds like the daft cnt was caught out at some heinous phone activity. The missus will deal him the best punishment, believe me. Never rated him much when he was with us. A very average and forgettable tenure..
He claimed living up here was like living in a goldfish bowl because everybody was watching you all the time.
Aye, and they were all saying 'what an incredibly average footballer'.
Yet the tool chooses to appear on TV every evening on the One Show.....being fkn watched.
Just on the News now-he's admitted total responsibility.
'inappropriate texts' to two women who he's apologised to...as well as his wife.
Sounds like a right dick.
