Surely one of the basic steps any company would take before putting strangers into people's homes on a tv programme is to check no one has a criminal record . They surely wouldn't want their star LS going into business with a criminal .
Now we find James Hill is a convicted thug who beat up a man so severely he left him scarred for life and tried to bite the ear off another chap . There are many people, I'm sure all of them well paid, who are responsible for putting this programme together, surely they should have someone checking for any criminal backgrounds .

Thanks george . His conviction may be spent but still I'd have nothing to do with anyone with his record for violence . FGS surely they must have interviewed hundreds of candidates far more capable .
As to the comment about association I'm no lawyer but with my very limited understanding if the conviction is spent and therefore irrelevant it should have no bearing on the hiring process at all. Even if the conviction is not spent and has to be declared it is illegal to refuse someone simply on the bases of the conviction - as long as certain rules and conditions are met which I would have to assume would be the case though of course the job being applied for and the nature of the conviction will have an affect on suitability but that is a separate issue all together.
On the basis of 'You've served your time, and are therefore entitled to a second chance' he was allowed to enter- so he didn't deceive anyone.
