What's with all the the 'had the honour of' and 'prestigous' lark.
I've removed the pomp. Probablt more can be done to clean the article up though, a lot of irreleveant presenting jobs mentioned, probably better to have that in a credit list that listed in prose.GunGagdinMoan16:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Becoming the first openly gay children's television presenter
In the section "Media career" it is stated that:
"He also presented his own show on ITV, Brian's Boyfriends, as well as narrating the Channel 4 reality show The Salon. He once ate chicken while recording this programme.
I can see no reference in this article to suggest that he is vegetarian or has any other legitimate reason why he shouldn't eat chicken, I am therefore not sure why this fact (if true) is worthy of comment. Is anybody able to add anything to this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southblue (talk • contribs) 14:33, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
