I just got an email to sign a petition to get ITV to cancel this series. I'd never heard of it so did a bit of googling, it's pretty grim reading. What on earth are ITV thinking, claiming that “his unique brand of banter and brash charm is neither sexist nor degrading to women" when it consists of shouting sexist abuse at women in the street, making rape jokes and the following comments:
"If she cries, she's just playing hard to get"
"Get your arm swing just right when you're walking and you occasionally touch a bit of *** by 'mistake', they love it."
"If she's looking at me and playing with her hair, by the end of the night she'll need a wheelchair"
This stuff makes me so bloody angry. Rant over.
