Tommy Boyd is a lot more serious and preachy than I remember him being when I was a kid listening to TR... I really wish Rufus could have stuck around, but according to Kath he was offered a part he couldn't refuse in a musical... Still, not long now until the boss comes back!

Absolutely loved having Boyd back on the air. He works quite well with Kath too.

I suppose Iain will be back on air soon to tell us how overwhelmed he is by his 'jungle' experience..

When did he get so needy? I used to love him during his LBC days

When he realised pretending to be depressed makes cash money. Smart guy.

Anyone who's followed his Twitter feed will know he's not pretending.

Yes he is. But fair play, being a pretend victim is getting him paid.

What makes you so sure he's pretending? It'd be a bloody hard act to maintain over all forms of media for such a prolonged length of time - including during the year following his sacking from Three Counties Radio, when it wasn't making him a penny. Do you think he was just doing it to get his rocks off?

Did you not see any of I'm a celebrity? That was a man laying it on thick for votes.

Either that or he's a pathetic cunt who should grow up.

All TV shows are scripted end-to-end. If you don't see that you are a simple, cretinous bastard. IL was told quite clearly to play the role of "Depressed Boy" (copyright Jon Gaunt). It's a trending topic that is getting a lot of eyeballs right now, plenty of leverage and requires brand champions. He weighed it up, took the 250k and the new twitter followers.

It's not scripting, it's selective editing. Iain was the Iain he's always been on air etc - not defined by depression but not afraid to discuss it either, and if he's feeling shitty he'll say so. But he's in the jungle for 24 hours in a day, maybe 20 minutes of which makes it to the highlights package. Someone at ITV decided that the whole bullying and depression thing would make a good narrative and picked things out accordingly. Iain would have had little idea what they were going to choose to show.

As for 'he's a pathetic cunt who should grow up', you are Jon Gaunt and I claim my £5. It's that exact attitude that leads to suicides.

I doubt he's faking his depressive episodes but he's deffo milking it for a bit of media whoring..
