Apparently he's leaving his talk show over comments made by Ann H on the show.

Is he a TERF? Has his trolling of MN peaked him?

I'm not generally a fan, but he can have some cookies from me if this is true. Good man. 🍪🍪🍪

I saw he was leaving on a post elsewhere earlier, and was Sad.
Love him, won't be the same without him.
Didn't know that was the reason why them.Bloody good on him if that's the case.

Bloody good for him. And Anne.

Channel 5 are pathetic.

I don't always agree with Matthew Wright, but he always comes across well, seems like a laugh and is a good host. I think he likes to stir a bit (guests and callers), which always makes for great TV.

Good on him for sticking to his principles. I also hope he easily finds something else and that HE gets an apology from CH5 for such a ridiculous action.

I'm hoping he mentions it the round of interviews he will no doubt embark on, because the BBC etc are determinedly not mentioning it in their coverage of his decision to leave.

I can't believe we are so far through the looking glass that a host refusing to apologise (for a guest stating a fact) is seen as both revolutionary and laudable.

Well, he's just gone up in my estimations, and so has she, although she always struck me as pretty plain speaking.

All Anne did was state a biological fact; however Paris presents nowadays, there's no doubting the fact that PL is biologically male, and that won't change.

Anne was only wrong to use the phrase "used to be", everything else was factually correct.

Is a man in fact not used to be.

Wanderabout · 01/05/2018 18:47

If this is true GOOD ON YOU Matthew Wright for having principles and sticking by them.

Someone stating a fact that someone used to be a man is not something to apologise for FFS.

Ludicrous.

Paris Lees said she wasn't bothered by it; Matthew Wright didn't say it, didn't need to apologise; Ann Hegerty might have aplogised, if someone had asked her, but as Paris Lees says much the same thing about herself on a regular basis, I doubt anyone would... and THERE WERE NO COMPLAINTS!

Much as his television persona irritates me, I can only wish Mr Wright well in finding something more enjoyable to do with his working days!
