Paul O’Grady has been banned from ‘The One Show’.
The ‘For The Love Of Dogs’ presenter, who was thrown off the teatime magazine programme recently after he answered subjects of a "contentious" nature, has lashed out at the programme for being too "squeaky clean."
Paul, 60, told The Sun newspaper: "I was banned from ‘The One Show’ for kicking off. I feel like an old slapper when I go on as they are so squeaky clean. They always ask a contentious question. I tell them, ‘Don’t ask me anything about Boris Johnson, the Government or anything’. I am happy to talk about mohair sweaters and bath salts.
"Of course I kick off and they are like, ‘We won’t have Paul for a few months, until the villagers with the burning torches have gone away.’ "
And it’s not the first time the British funnyman has got into trouble on the early-evening programme, as in 2014 he was slammed with complaints after he dished out his harsh opinion on Channel 4’s controversial ‘Benefits Street’.
Meanwhile, his sharp-tongued remarks haven’t just put him in the firing line on television as he’s also been told off for being outspoken on his BBC Radio 2 show, which has led him to quit the role several times but each time he’s been let off.
He said previously: "I ramble and I can see the producer panicking like when I say, ‘Oh, Jeremy Hunt is rhyming slang for … I have given in my notice loads of times."
