Good Morning Britain because ITV has “freedom of speech, unlike the BBC”.The host made the admission in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk and stood by his comments regarding Kurt Zouma and West Ham.Richard explained: “On ITV we are allowed a lot of latitude in terms of giving your personal comment because we are not a state-funded broadcast.“So, within reason, you can say what you personally think.”Richard then turned the conversation to “cat-kicking footballer” Kurt Zouma, whom he has fiercely criticised on-air.On GMB earlier this month, the presenter said it was “shameless and contempt of public opinion” that West Ham allowed him to play following the release of the shocking video.Standing by his comments, Richard asserted: “You wouldn’t have a BBC presenter allowed to say they thought he was a disgrace or, as I did, that West Ham were shameless in allowing him to play.“And they were shameless.

being targeted by the World's Scariest Man, it seems The Rock is more interested in a much calmer pursuit - namely curling. Like most of us at around this time every four years, The Rock - real name Dwayne Johnson - has been gripped by the sport, which sees teams launch stones on a sheet of ice before chasing after them with brooms. Except they're not stones, they're rocks, something that The Rock only learned after American broadcaster NBC photoshopped his face onto one and tweeted it out on Wednesday afternoon.

Winter Olympics.But perhaps British sport should get its own house in order before people single out one person from Russia who has tested positive for the banned angina drug trimetazidine.I'm not condoning what Valieva has done, because she shouldn't be allowed on the ice in Beijing.But we have more pressing issues to deal with on our own doorstep, following the bombshell revelations from former Rugby League stars Ollie Wilkes and Jamie Acton that they were involved in widespread doping throughout their careers.Those who follow the sport have spent years marvelling at how these supreme athletes put their bodies on the line week in, week out to cope with the demands of what is a brutal business.But in one fell swoop, Wilkes and Acton have called into serious question the integrity of an entire sport, tarnished the good names of all those who remain clean and left the game's rulers facing more questions than answers.Wilkes, who captained Scotland, revealed he was taking illegal substances at the time he secured a 'dream' move to Wigan, claims coaches used to encourage stars to go missing when UCAD testers turned up at clubs, and said one team-mate even injected himself in his car en-route to a training session.Acton, meanwhile, took to social media to accuse Rugby League of going to great lengths to keep drug use a secret.The timing of these damaging admissions and allegations is horrendous.The new Super League season began last weekend with fireworks and fanfare, while a Rugby League World Cup will take place on these shores in the autumn.Wilkes is now being lauded in some quarters as some sort of brave whistleblower.

How many have you got, and are you all [presenters] having a bobble hat off?"Katherine admitted: "Well I went to PyeongChang four years ago with two bobble hats, and that was a mistake. Because it turns out you're on TV every single day and you want a bit of variety!"She went on to explain: "So I've brought seven bobble hats with me out to Beijing.
