* SCOTT CHISHOLM FIRED
|
|
|
|
Scott Chisholm was today fired from Sky News following an alleged incident
|
|
yesterday involving co-presenter Chris Mann.
|
|
|
|
Chris Mann was taken to hospital in November last year after he was
|
|
attacked by Chisholm, who claimed that Mann had been rude to his wife on
|
|
the telephone. (See bskyb/sky_news, message #2)
|
|
|
|
At the time, Chisholm was suspended for 14 days, however a further incident
|
|
occured yesterday during a break in "Live at Five". According to staff,
|
|
Chisholm launched a flood of abuse at Mann, who was with his wife (fellow
|
|
Sky News presenter Stephanie Callister) at the time.
|
|
|
|
The root of the disagreement appears to have been an interview with
|
|
Chisholm in Sunday World, an Irish newspaper, regarding his private life.
|
|
Chisholm accused Mann of tipping off the London Evening Standard about the
|
|
interview, which contained a number of obscenities, among which the quote
|
|
"I still have to dress like a f*cking bank clerk, but it doesn't mean I
|
|
have to act like one."
|
|
|
|
The race is now on to find a presenter to host Sky World News Tonight with
|
|
Selina Scott.
