If in public life some decorum has to be expected, some level of self control has to be followed. You can't have a presenter doing the sort of thing that he's admitted to, as a presenter of a primetime programme.
The two I've quoted have clearly been shown to have either misjudged his character or been fooled into believing he was something he wasn;t.
But this isn't public life, it's his own, private life. It had no impact on his ability to present the One Show, and it certainly wouldn't impact upon the way he performed the role and how he presented himself in it. It's not like he's Russell Brand or Jonathan Ross; he hasn't made his name as a presenter by promoting sleazy behaviour.
To be honest, I expect there are a lot more television personalities, some a whole lot more "wholesome" than Manford, who have occasionally locked themselves in their hotel rooms and pressed the PayTV button on their hotel television. Is this so different just because he's using the internet, talking to willing webcam girls who are probably making a mint out of his desires? It's just Frank Bough all over again.
This country's media has a very weird attitude to sex; perhaps even moreso than America. We peddle it to our young, use it to sell products, drop double entendres all over the place and plaster topless girls all over our biggest selling national newspaper. Yet when one individual decides to do something private, legal and probably very common amongst his peers, he is crucified by that very newspaper. I don't get it. Abi Titmuss appears naked in a sex tape with a Blue Peter presenter and she appears on Come Dine With Me, Shakespeare plays and presents shows on national radio and MTV. Double standards much?
