Both the Daily Heil and the Evening Standard say there is, so there must be one!

Can't see him re-locating here for a TV show.

I would imagine it's more a case of freshening up the line up - it is TV afterall.

He says that he'd moved back to the UK. I think it's a shame that he's gone really, since he did actually put some money in (unlike that American bloke that did the first series and gave nothing away), and he was quite amusing.

If they want to freshen up the line-up, can't they get rid of that annoying **** Theo instead!

Because it gives the daily mail another angle.

And presumably sexually motivated. ( Perhaps the show producer/director fancies him? ).

Given the proportions of sexual and racial variations on TV, I think white straight English heterosexual men must be in a minority.

( At Essex University, someone tried to set up the White Straight English Gentleman's society. It was banned by the SU on the grounds of being racist, sexist and homophobic. The Black Nigerian Lesbian society was perfectly acceptable though. ).

How did this get missed too?

The BBC has replaced a white entrepreneur from Dragon's Den with an Asian one who is gay.

Richard Farley was the second most generous one on the program and had moved back to the UK to do it. One of the reasons given - he wasn't based in the UK. A number of "informed sources" talking to the Evening Standard say it's all racially motivated...
