AND HE'S OFF!
Loose Women boot out racing pundit
By Rick Fulton
RACING pundit John McCririck was booted off a TV show yesterday after launching an outrageous rant about women.
After a tirade of abuse aimed at the four female presenters of lunchtime programme Loose Women, he turned on the audience.
They hit back with deafening boos and jeers, forcing host Kaye Adams to interrupt.
She asked the audience whether the interview should continue or if McCririck, 56, should go.
They called for him to be shown the door and he was ordered to leave the set. McCririck called the presenters of the ITV1 show "gruesome", before branding all women "domineering, bossy and wanting to change men".
He added that women "pat men on the head and do the most diabolical things to them".
Presenter Carol McGiffin called him "repulsive", which only spurred him on even more.
He launched a scathing personal attack, saying: "This is a woman who has been sexless since Chris Evans (her ex-husband) kicked her out and who complains about it all the time.
"But look at her, who would want to have sex with her?"
He then added: "I'm available, dear, but your breasts aren't big enough."
She replied: "Luckily, I don't know if yours is big enough," referring to his manhood.
Just seconds before his rant was bought to a halt, he muttered: "The fee for this programme is pathetic."
As he walked off set, Carol could be heard saying: "I can't believe we paid him anything to come on here and have a go at us."
Fellow panellist Coleen Nolan simply shook her head and said: "I can't stand him."
