Why the assumption that there's something necessarily morally wrong with divorce?”

I think its immoral to leave your children, particularly if you do so in order to pursue your own selfish dreams and desires. Marriages can always be worked on if people feel a moral responsibility to stay.

However, that doesn't automatically make him dishonest or immoral in other ways, so I don't know why its important to raise the issue, by anyone other than his family.

He is excellent.”

Does this mean he's going to get caught with a huge bag of coke and some chaps wife at a swingers party?

I'll agree it's below the belt, but maybe reminding people that he's not a saint is also important.”

Trust him? He's a TV presenter not your bank manager!

You have no idea what's gone on between them and who, if either, is at fault.

I hope you never do jury service.

I find it more morally questionable to advocate staying together for the sake of the children (who are the first to sense when all is not well). Children invariably suffer in that scenario.

Pretty much the only exception to this was the Katie Hopkins episode, and she clearly WANTED to carry on being marketed as a villain.

Adrian Chiles' job is to make the contestant currently sat on the panel look as good and affable as possible. Often this will involve slagging off another candidate still on the show, to make the current fired person look as good as possible by comparison. Then THAT person is fired, and the process continues.

I think people need to bear in mind that it's not the case that the main show has an edit and You're Fired doesn't. It does. A very stringent edit. Just a different one. You get barely more of a picture of the "real person" on You're Fired than you do on the actual show.”

Exactly right. And hopefully get this thread back on topic

What an ar*e.

My opinion of him since the Carol Thatcher affair has lowered.

I hadn't heard about that so just did a Google.

Well done Adrian!

Top man.
