It wasn't really him, was it?  He was ok, but that role is more suited to banal every-men non-personalities like Adrian Chiles or Dermot O'Leary.  I like him as a comedian and comedy panellist but chit-chatting with the boring guests of the type he often spends the rest of his time mocking looked a bit inconsistent.  I think he was wasted on that show and would be better suited on an evening show.  I prefer Alex Jones as more natural and  attractive to the grinning and vastly over-hyped Christine Bleakley.

Jason Manford has left his role on The One Show, according to reports.

The front page of The Sun tomorrow is expected to carry the story of the Manchester comedian's departure from the BBC.

Manford's agent Katie Phillips said that the star handed his resignation to the show's bosses "to ease the situation surrounding newspaper allegations", says PA.

Earlier this month, he apologised for sending sexual messages to a fan via Twitter.

Of Manford's decision to quit, a spokesperson for the BBC apparently responded: "We have got nothing to say except that we accept Jason's decision."

The 29-year-old, who replaced Adrian Chiles on the primetime magazine show, later joked that he may not be with the programme much longer.

Manford admitted to The Sun that he had "flirted" with 10 or 12 people on the internet and that it had gone "over the line with a few".

 

 

 

I don't drink, I don't do drugs, so it's not like I've got those to blame. I've never felt so low

 

 

 

 

He also said he had talked to girls on Skype - a live online video link - while on tour.

 

The married father-of-two told the newspaper: "We would start off flirty, then innuendo and then a bit saucy. They were moments I thought 'I shouldn't be saying that'.

 

"I went on Skype with a few girls. They also sent pictures on Twitter. It all happened on tour."

 

Manford's resignation will take effect immediately and he is not expected to present The One Show again. His Twitter account is also showing up as suspended.
