No - sacked from a BBC show (though not the BBC altogether - she's free to do other shows) for referring (off-air and off-camera) to a tennis player at the Australian Open as a 'golliwog'.

What she actually said was something like 'with that hair, he looks like the golliwog on the jam jars' (or similar).

Still..............whatever.

Don't remember the previous thread about Tug Wilson - apologies for the deja vu.
