The interview with the sun. Stressing he hasnt sun. The sun stressing he hasnt been paid for that interview at this stage. And of course, its his first opportunity really to get his thoughts out there and, you know, ive worked in the newspaper industry for a long time. Ive been an editor for a irrig time.

Hes just trying to steal the narrative of. No, hes just trying to steal the narrative of. No i i i c narrative of. No, i dont think the public will arguably go for it. I think its it feels a little bit like hes looking for sympathy. And i think thats very difficult to give to somebody whos had such a long and successful career in the media industry, of course, adds to that. His his age, hes 61 years old. You know, hes been doing one of the top jobs in television for the last 20 years. And then add to that the fact that this relationship was with a young a young man , you with a young a young man, you know, in a very junior position. And i think its going to be difficult to try and make yourself be the victim in yourself out to be the victim in that circumstance. How damaged do that circumstance. How damaged ireinni that circumstance. How damaged ieininr inn that circumstance. How damaged dothink this is that circumstance. How damaged dothink this is to that circumstance. How damaged dothink this is to the it. its f how damaged do think this is to the this do you think this is to the this morning do you think this is to the this morningbecause do you think this is to the this morning because it is morning brand . Because it is inni morning brand . Because it is that wholesome morning brand . Because it is that wholesome family show, inni that wholesome family show, ieni iii that wholesome family show, ieni iii ite that wholesome family show, isnt it . Its meant to be warm eni isnt it . Its meant to be warm and inclusive isnt it . Its meant to be warm and inclusive and isnt it . Its meant to be warm and inclusive and a very kind tini and inclusive and a very kind rini ei and inclusive and a very kind kind of atmosphere here. And it ee iiv kind of atmosphere here. And it comes as itv execs kind of atmosphere here. And it comes as itv execs are set to ince comes as itv execs are set to face questioning comes as itv execs are set to face questioning from mps as neit face questioning from mps as neii. Se face questioning from mps as neii. So inn face questioning from mps as well. So this could be a very enniienging well. So this could be a very challenging time well. So this could be a very challenging time now for itv. Renn challenging time now for itv. Vent. I challenging time now for itv. Vent. I mean. Challenging time now for itv. Yeah, i mean, its challenging time now for itv. Yeah, i mean, its you challenging time now for itv. Yeah, i mean, its you know, its not the first time that itv or rather this morning has has faced sort of scandal on the programme. Of course, you know, if you look back a couple of decades, you know, we remember some of the revelations that came out then and its going to be very, very difficult now. I mean, no show can go on forever. And if a brand becomes toxic and that that word again, toxic, weve heard that toxic atmosphere allegedly on the set of this morning. I think it could be very, very difficult. And, of course, when bosses appearin and, of course, when bosses appear in front of mps , it appear in front of mps, it depends very much on what comes out. I think thats very interesting as well that the timing of this announced that theyve launched a barristers enquiry and im wondering whether it gives itv execs an opportunity to sit in front of those mps and say , i cant those mps and say, i cant comment on an active investigation. That line that we hear so often from mps themselves is and whether theyre hoping that that might be a way of deflecting at this time. Iwant be a way of deflecting at this time. I want to go back to this sun time. I want to go back to this sun etern time. I want to go back to this sun story, i time. I want to go back to this sun storyr i you time.

You know , anybody become the focus , anybody whos become the focus of this kind of story would be upset by it. However the reaction of the public remains to be seen from the perspective of those watching at home. Again, i reiterate, he is a very powerful man who has been up till now , hes had a very till now, hes had a very successful career. Hes been a part of peoples lives. However, he wasnt he wasnt ultimately how he presented himself to be. And of course, you know, to go on television every day and talk about issues of family and morality and to give your own views on that, and then to have this kind of story exposed. And its very interesting then to try and flip that around. Yeah.
