No one knows.

But both him and Kath have removed all trace of Talk Radio from their twitter bios.

More attention seeking.. He'll be back in the new year after the Xmas musical chairs.
Hi, how are you. My name's Elliot, and I'm with the Cub Scouts of America. We're selling uncut cocaine to get to the jamboree.

He's back tonight - looks like more attention seeking.

He put out his PayPal for donations last week - this from a man who's earning a very good living for 'working' three hours a day, whilst his audience are generally very working class. He's got some front.

He throws out so many attention seeking tweets and his whole show is very ego driven. He relies on the regular back scratching he gets from listeners. I've listened since LBC days, but I feel it's losing its appeal. He seems to rely on Kath, who lets face it, isn't good enough to be a presenter. She's probably fine behind the screen, but definitely not a radio talent.

Don't get the appeal of Lee anymore. Bloke is hard work to listen to.
"talkFORUM royalty" - thursty.
"Talkforum's Alan Whicker! " - kevin04.

Pleased he hasn't gone. I think his show is great more often than crap. It can be crap, though.

A bit like Fordey minus the funny and entertaining aspects. :D

You'd expect pc/mac to be reversed there.

Sounds like he wants to sit in his pants eating cheetos playing games

He's very much turning into Gaunt - those two/three weeks over Christmas he had off he put out his PayPal details for donations, which I found absolutely incredible. He's very entitled, always moaning about his situation, despite "working" 3 hours a day with practically no preparation and getting paid around £600 a show.

He's narcissistic, and Kath's tongue wedged firmly up his ass doesn't help his over inflated ego.

I'm usually a big fan of Iain but I think he's been a bit of a prat the last few weeks.

He took over 2 weeks off Christmas, has done what 2.5 weeks of the new term and has now cried sick and taken two days off.

If he isn't up to it, he should just give it up.

He and kath left half hour early last week, they did the same in December. He'll play the hard-done-by victim when he loses that job, and he'll have the usual sycophants making him seem like a saint who's done no wrong. It's all a bit tragic really.

The best show he's done for months was when Kath was off recently, that felt like the old LBC days. Together they act like the callers are a nuisance, and IMO Iain was far better solo with small input from a producer.

Now he's off Kath is standing in, that's down to months of moaning at management by him to get her in, when, I'm sure most of us agree - Tommy Boyd was far better, and someone we actually looked forward to hearing. Tommy was an ideal stand-in, yet Kath makes him feel comfortable that he's not losing his job (he's admitted this).
