I haven't seen him around on TV for sometime. Maybe if he was nice to women Channel 4 might have kept him on.

My mum is 65 and she is being forced to retire, even though she loves her job and is very good at it. John is 72, so he's been lucky. He plans to donate 2.5 million of the 3 million to charity...still leaves him with a tidy sum :rolleyes:
In this economic climate its all short term contracts and there is no such thing nowadays as a job for life.:yawn:
He only ever did any of that stuff on CBB and Wife Swap though, As a contributor to Channel Four Racing he has always been a lot more interesting and entertaining (he's a lot more intelligent than he lets on in his "showbiz" appearances).
he will not be the last to get the boot from the show so his argument for ageism is just his arrogant attitude showing through again, it;s not down to age it's down to being boring and IMO spoiling the show.
I wouldn't mind if he just acted normal and put his points across without trying to steal the limelight for as much exposure as possible then i would have no problem with him.
This arrogant fool looks like Sherlock Holmes's great great grandfather!
Exactly, how can he claim to have been humiliated when these pics exist

He had already been replaced for most of C4 Racing's coverage by Tanya Stevenson anyway.
I think there is ageism at c4
Good riddance and I hope he gets £5 compensation, some decent underpants and a large hanky out of it.
I think he said the solicitor was engaged on a no win no fee basis.
He can't say he wasn't aware C4 had put the racing contract out to tender as it was well publicised, so he had fair warning.
£1.5m for what a years work plus 'hardship? Has he plucked these figures out of thin air? He'd be better off going down the bookies and placing bets on his tips.
Well it's not because he's ugly to look at.
You got me there
