Weak management decision..........Their ratings will collapse. Utterly foolish decision.......Just goes to show TV bosses are as out of touch with reality the same as Council planners.
Jeremy Clarkson is axed as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host: ITV boss who 'forced out Piers Morgan' confirms star will step down after next season - after Meghan Markle column fallout
Jeremy Clarkson has been axed as the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, ITV confirmed today, following the presenter's highly controversial Meghan Markle column.
The 62-year-old wrote in the Sun newspaper in December that he 'hated' the Duchess of Sussex, 41, and wanted to see her paraded through the streets naked while people throw 'excrement' at her - apparently referencing a public shaming scene from the fantasy TV series Game of Thrones.
The fierce backlash that followed led to speculation that his hit shows on Amazon Prime - Clarkson's Farm and The Grand Tour - were to be pulled after bosses at the streaming service were left 'incandescent' at the fallout.
