[TheHodgeoftheHedge]

Apologies for the Daily Shite link but I am so pissed off about this I had to post about it

How is it appropriate to have someone convicted of Domestic Abuse appear on a dating show?! Am I going mad? I mean, I don't understand why anyone is hiring him for anything but WTF. Please tell me you're all shocked too?!

Copied from my AIBU post

Well, it isn't true, he has not been signed up for the show!

I have already had a response

Your email has been passed to me. I’m XXXX the Series Producer of Naked Attraction. I just wanted to get in touch to let you know that this press story is incorrect. Jeremy McConnell has not been offered to take part in any filming of Naked Attraction. I hope this answers your questions below.

I told him where it started, where else I know it is being reported, that Channel 4 deny commissioning it and that I will report this back to Mumsnet

Well that’s a relief. It’ll teach us the lesson we all really should have known already: Never trust the Fail.

It started in the Sun, they said that he, McConnell, had confirmed he was the first to sign up... the Fail just echoed it!

And that's what I told the Producer

He was given jail time after skipping his community service to get a hair and beard transplant in Turkey.

I've never come across this person but the conviction for dv should have surely put him out of the running for a show? Why would they want to touch him with a barge pole?

Psst! Fekko - they didn't, they say!

I know - I'm a very slow typer, then I wandered off to read the link, then I went to check the weather for tomorrow, then I wandered back and pressed 'post'...

Have written to complai. This is an utter disgrace

How is your weather looking? Cold and cloudy here!

it's probably a bit too chilly to go streaking according to my weather app. I agree.
