Jason Manford: ‘Sex tweet’ One Show host quits
JASON Manford quit the One Show last night over allegations that he shared sexually explicit internet messages with a female fan.
The comedian, 29, handed his resignation to the show’s bosses five months after starting, saying he wanted to leave “to ease the situation surrounding newspaper allegations”.
The married father-of-two said: “I have decided to step down from The One Show to concentrate on my family and tour commitments.”

Manford apologised to his family and fans earlier this month after it was alleged that he shared sleazy messages with 22-year-old Debra McNamee on Twitter.
BBC bosses are likely to hold talks over the weekend to try to find a replacement for him.
