We don’t usually cast our eyes in the direction of sport around the corridors of TV Today towers, but this doesn’t really count as we’re talking about presenting talent, not the fellas who kick the balls around on the pitch. I note with some amusement Ian Wright has quit his role as a football pundit for BBC Sport, claiming that he had been cast in the role of a “comedy jester” between colleagues such as Alans Hansen and Shearer.
Um… if this is a plea to be taken seriously in his work by Ian Wright, who has been a pundit for the BBC for many years, it might help his case if, with the timing of a comedy jester, I wasn’t able to write the next line…
Ian Wright will present the new series of Gladiators on Sky One this summer.
Never mind eh, Ian? We’re sure this will bring you some credibility as a serious presenter.
