He’s now a presenter of Today on Radio 4. I can’t stand him. He doesn’t talk clearly, he mumbles all the time. He often seems ill-prepared for interviews and conducts them in such a casual manner which I suspect is his way of dealing with his nerves/lack of preparation. In TV interviews he slouches in his seat which just looks so unprofessional. Now he’s got the University Challenge gig. Why do people keep hiring him ? I wish he would just go away.

He’s had a lot of unlikely gigs with the Beeb. I remember when he was a ‘restaurant critic’ on Masterchef Professionals, sitting there with Tracy and Jay….what was that about? Then wasn’t he an Arts and Media correspondent?

He is known as Mister Bling in our household.

I don't mind him but I was totally laughing my head off at him this morning saying the Sudan evacuees were being taken to Larn-AR-car airport in Cyprus... asking his correspondent to say what it was like as the listeners wouldn't have been there
