Jeremy Corbyn 89 Posted August 27, 2021 Not a fan of starting new threads but I think this man is notable enough. He has presented on LBC for over 40 years and is well known for his early breakfast show where he chastises celebrities and rants on about life. A few years ago he had stents put in, but over the last year or two he has suffered from numerous health issues for which he has had to he hospitalised for. He's 67, has been off multiple times this year due to emergency procedures (sometimes announcing he was returning the next day and then pulling out just an hour before) and this is a man who never took one day off in about 10 years prior to that. He is back again now since 9th August but his illnesses seem to be getting more and more frequent. He was also a chainsmoker for many years until giving up when he had an angina attack... Maybe one to watch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeremy Corbyn 89 Posted October 22, 2021 Arguably his profile has been raised by his latest controversy. Could exacerbate his health issues (listed above) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,329 Posted October 22, 2021 I mean what he said was a bit mean to Tilly Ramsay who is only slightly chubby but oh well.I like how they have unearthed previous comments of his calling Gemma Collins fat and Amy Hart stupid and pointless which are pretty accurate.

Ulitzer95 12,642 Posted October 22, 2021 I find this man insufferable. He's rude and vile, but she should've just ignored it. The whole thing has been blown out of proportion and if anything it will just give him more listeners. There are some real egotistical wankers who present LBC. James O'Brien and Nick Abbot are up there too IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but in fairness, a 19 year old "celebrity"* is still a 19 year old and wont have the maturity of an adult to deal with insufferably rude people, so to speak. *I had genuinely never heard of her before now, but on hearing her father is Gordon Ramsay, she has my full sympathy there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah he has been a Dick to her but what he said wasn't that bad.If you put yourself out there you will get criticism.I could understand more if he called her fat but chubby is just slightly rude.

Jeremy Corbyn 89 Posted March 2, 2023 His health could be affected now he's 'left' LBC (meaning contract been terminated). It was very sudden, so may also be due to a health issue. 69 this month 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
