Paul O’Grady has stated that he would quit his show if he found out that his viewers had been conned out of money. The king of the mid afternoon talk show claims that presenters of shows that have been found guilty of the scandalous practice should leave the programme… and to be honest, I think he has a point.
Recently Ant and Dec’s shows Saturday Night Takeaway and Gameshow Marathon were revealed to have conned money from viewers, while Richard and Judy’s show was named and shamed earlier this year. O’Grady declared that if it were him he would quit, telling The Sun: “If it was my show, I’d probably leave. If you were running a pub and your name was over the door and someone was selling drugs in there then you’d be liable. If your name is connected to a show but you don’t know what’s going on with it, you need to take more notice. I think it’s good this stuff has been exposed. If it wasn’t for the viewers we wouldn’t be here, and if they’re being ripped off then it needs to stop.” Fair play to the lad!
