There's no way he'll resign. He's got a 3 yr contract worth £18m. He's paid £500k per month. Why would he resign? Also, the two of them are purely being used as scapegoats. It's the production team who were at fault for letting it be broadcast IMO.

He's been sacked for 3 months but will probably be back after that as he is too big a name to be destroyed completely. But what I think is that this will be settled as No.
