To think John McCririck is too poorly to be on TV?

His appearance is that of someone with end stage terminal illness. Says it's from flu, either way, he looks very, very ill, unrecognisable and his TV appearances are a concern.
He was on BBBOTS the other night, and This Morning just now.
It just doesn't sit right that someone so ill is on TV 'defending' themselves in this way.

Well he certainly looks gaunt, but I have no idea what his health problems are or why he has lost so much weight. Ultimately it is up to him to decide whether he is well enough to appear on TV.
I don't like the man and find some of his views completely abhorrent, but, but obviously I don't wish ill health ony one, so I hope he is not seriously ill.

There are many reasons why he shouldn't be on TV. His physical health is a fair way down the list.

I’m with you OP. It’s very strange and it’s very exploitative of This Morning to have him on. But they are the TV equivalent of click bait so...

OP I agree.

I remember seeing him on TV a few months ago and thinking he was looking slimmer and had clearly been dieting. However I saw him on BBBOTS last week and thought he now looked like he was terminally ill. I really don't think he would be that gaunt just from flu and losing weight.

I suspect he might be and is just trying to earn some cash while he still can.
