*sigh* there is no chance of jason being sacked as he does exactly what he is paid to do and some people clearly swallow it hook line and sinker. They want you to be annoyed with him, it's the whole point. If your annoyed with him ITV will be pleased about it.

They edited out the comments on the phone recap, anyone for YouTube?

exactly Muttely, he is doing his job!!!!

I thought Jason's comment tonight was awful.
I didn't actually hear it; the booing completely irritated me and I felt the only way to deal with it was to turn the sound off and put the subtitles on.

But way below the belt - no pun intended.

I think we all realise he is doing what he is asked to.
all we are saying is that in this particular instance he went too far in our opinion

Crass, unprofessional and totally out of order. This is a family show, screened before the watershed, not a Chubby Brown gig. I have lost any respect I ever had for Jason Gardiner, I used to find him entertaining, funny even. Distasteful personal remarks like that have no place in light entertainment.

I don't want to see him sacked but tonight he went too far, and it had nothing to do with her dancing.

I know a few people think others are getting their knickers in a twist but I sure wouldn't like to be likened to a floating turd.

Ohhhhh !! Harsh. No wonder Sharron got through tonight then !

Have to agree...I don't take this programme serously but you have to have some boundaries....its family entertainment.

Its good to have a contoversial judge in the mix who
will tell it like it is when the others are being polite or over polite in the name of constructive criticism but when it starts
to go too far down the road of personal abuse and offensive comments you have to say NO!! GARDNER!! More than enough..in fact..just TOO MUCH!

What have the costumes got to do with rude comments?!

I actually thought both ladies looked fabulous in what they were wearing - 2 of the best outfits of the night.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance...ould-be-fired/ - Understandably media are quick to respond.

Didnt know Jason had kids!!!!!

He had no right to comment on the costume like that. First of all, that's the costume department's fault. The pros and celebs have said on twitter that they get no say in the costumes. Secondly, what did the costume have to do with her skating and her performance? Thirdly, while he may have been right that the costume was unflattering, there are other ways in which he could have expressed it. I usually defend Jason but tonight he really went way too far.

Thanks for the link!

Jason may not want to read the papers tomorrow!

I wonder how many official complaints have been received?

memmh, he was commenting on the performance as a whole, music,costume and presentation, if you feel his comments were offensive then fair enough thats your prerogative, i wasnt offended i think he is a cheeky git but whats new !!!!! but really is anyone going to lose sleep over this

And i do think the celebs should have a say in their costumes, both Sharon and Heathers costumes did nothing for them, Jason has commented on Sharons presentation before as have other judges, ie her amazingly toned body can appear harsh, therefore you would think the costume department would be aware and dress her with that thought in mind, much like the costume on SCD some of their styling was atrocious and the celebs pay the price!!!

Jason is the panto villain of the panel but sometimes hes goes OTT. He certainly did with Sharron tonight. Thought that was his worse comment since he called Kelly Holmes a man in drag in series 1.

Also, Sharron has improved & had been in 2 previous skate offs & she was definitely a little low on confidence. So why not as Nicky & Karen did praise her for her improvement & give constructive comments.

Threw her a vote tonight, along with Mikey & Mel. I was planning on doing it anyway but Jason's comment sealed it

I don't think anyone is going to lose sleep over it, nor do I take the show seriously. It's supposed to be fun and light hearted, but comments like that are not appropriate for the type of show or the timing. He should be made to apologise at the very least.

http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/we-love-te...ost-jason.html - Media certainly VERY quick.

"Blades of Glory" springs to mind!!!

Apologise fair enough, petitions for him to be sacked are a bit much though.

She's too much of a hard nut to let that worry her.

I can't remember when I ever sent an email of complaint about the content of a show but I have now.

I hope ITV get inundated with complaints and that he is sent packing.

He is just trying to be noticed and hopes that by getting the "Mr. Nasty" label he will somehow get the same recognition as Simon Cowell. It's the theory that if you are too mediocre to be recognised then be a total ****head and make a name for yourself that way. Unfortunately for him he is totally uncharismatic. Well it aint big and it aint clever!! Get 'im off.

I have only just stopped laughing at that remark.

waits for the onslaught!!!!
