I'm going to start with Thomas Skinner's big revelation to his exclusive on the front page here of The Sun
0:06
The Strictly Star is suing the BBC. I'll get you a little bit of text on that in a moment
0:12
But what do you make of this order? Do you think he's got any case here or is it, you know, can I just say before we get started
0:20
I spoke to Tom Skinner on GB News, say about three or four weeks ago
0:25
And I asked him, do you think I think I'm sure I asked him. I'll have to double check. Don't quote me for sure
0:30
But I'm sure I asked him, do you think he was kicked out for political reasons? And I think he said no at the time to me
0:34
So he must have changed his mind. But he says he thinks he's seen evidence. I think that the BBC are going to be very skint very quickly
0:40
by the way they're going, aren't they? But, I mean, yeah, I think that he was..
0:44
I think he's been really harshly dealt with. Again, why are we bringing politics and political views
0:51
into a dance competition? I don't know. It's utterly ridiculous. Look, I mean, he, you know, he..
0:57
I don't know how... I mean, how much of a friend is he with J.D. Vance
1:01
I mean, are they best buddies? Do they meet once? What's going on there? Is it a bromance
1:06
I mean, it's just... I don't understand what it is about him
1:11
I think you might find that this lawsuit never actually happens but it gets him on the front page of The Sun It would be my cynical suspicion Because I mean since all the scandals like 20 years ago
1:22
which is across various TV companies at the time about these phoning votes, they're all overseen by accountancy firms now
1:28
So I can't imagine that there are easy loopholes on that one
1:31
Well, he's saying here, Lord Bailey, he's got proof that he downplayed his public support because of negative publicity
1:39
If you remember the weeks leading up to Strictly, there was a lot about his private life in the press at the time
1:45
I would be stunned if the BBC was so silly to do something. I just don't believe they've done it
1:49
That's just my personal... I don't think they've done it. Maybe just can dance. Yeah. I think that's probably..
1:54
Do you think his relationship with J.D. Vance plays into this in any way? No
1:59
The BBC, they're not that petty. Do you know what I mean? They're not sitting there... Well, they picked him in the first place
2:04
We could have did it. But, guys, they picked him in the first place to be honest. No, no, I just don't think they're that petty
2:09
That's what I'm saying, yeah, exactly. And the other thing as well, how friendly is he with J.D. Vars
2:15
One high five. I don't see why they'd get him on and then not let him..
2:18
They went for lunch, didn't they, in the Cotswolds when he was over here, J.D. Vars. But George Osborne arranged his whole trip to the Cotswolds, you know
2:24
and, you know, when he's not sending artefacts back as chairman of the British Museum
2:29
Well, let's see. If he's got proof, then he's got proof. Let's see. We shall see. OK, interesting stuff. All right, well, look..
