I reckon it’s Anne Robinson. Fight me.

      i guess… for the level of cash paid, it makes sense. the only counter-indication to this, is i have seen a screenshot of a tweet from only a few hours ago from bbc wales, about a program huw is presenting. i can’t find the original tweet because i dont have a twitter account (and refuse to make one for this). it’s possible that the tweet was auto-scheduled?

        Possible or the person I spoke to is wrong, although they seemed very well-connected. I’d be confident enough in it to put a few quid on it but not to bet the farm. Assuming a betting company is offering odds on this (I had a quick Google and didn’t find anything).

          Doubt a bookies would have a market for something like this. What a shame if it was Huw though, I’ve always respected him and he knows his politics.

            I always thought you could bet on anything but this may he deemed too tasteless.

            Yeah, I am still hoping it isn’t him as I’d feel a bit let down.

      Has anyone seen this backed up elsewhere? All I’m finding is accusations against Graham Norton from dodgy looking websites.

          I was looking for another source for the same rumour, ie someone who isn’t you.

          …and yet you just keep replying

            I’m sure if you look around on social media (likely Twitter) you’ll find someone saying the same thing but that’s because, at this point, just about every prominent BBC presenter has been named. Finding two randoms on the Internet saying the same thing isn’t confirmation. If so, Mr Blobby’s head is in the noose.
