TV star Alan Titchmarsh has come under fire from fans for comments he made in an old clip showed in Netflix's Jill Dando documentary. <\/p>\n
The presenter, 74, insisted that women who are good-looking do not have to work as hard within the broadcasting industry. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Alan said the comment during a sit-down interview with Jill. <\/p>\n
At one point he\u00a0says: "Ladies who say, \u2018It\u2019s much harder for us in broadcasting…\u2019 And I keep thinking, \u2018Absolute nonsense, I mean then if you\u2019re a good-looking woman then it\u2019s not difficult. It is easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
The broadcaster hit back at the time and said: "Actually, people expect more of women that's the trouble."<\/p>\n
The resurfaced clip has angered some fans, with viewers slamming Alan's "outdated" and "appalling" views. <\/p>\n
One unhappy viewer wrote: "Watching the Jill Dando doc and I didn't realise that Alan Titchmarsh was going to be my new sworn enemy."<\/p>\n A second commented: "Oh he's going to be cancelled."<\/p>\n Another posted: "I liked how Jill Dando responded to Alan Titchmarsh, suggesting that good looking women had it easier."<\/p>\n A third commented: "I listened and thought how appalling."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "His views were so outdated then, let alone now," another fumed.<\/p>\n While other fans were also stunned by former BBC producer Bob Wheaton's remarks about Jill.<\/p>\n "Watching the Jill Dando documentary on Netflix and listening to dinosaur Bob Wheaton who told Jill she looked 'regional' – like WTF," a viewer raged.<\/p>\n "She had to change her hair, dress differently and lose weight.<\/p>\n "He is part of the sickening old boy attitudes that need stamping out."<\/p>\n Another echoed: "He and those in those misogyny club are part of the problem women still face in this industry."<\/p>\n This is not the first time that Alan has been <\/p>\n In 2013, Alan claimed that older women working in television should stop moaning about being passed over for jobs because it\u2019s easier for them at the beginning of their careers.<\/p>\n The TV gardener told\u00a0The Observer: \u201cMen in television tend to last a bit longerat the end of their careers, but it is women who make hay at the beginning."<\/p>\n \u201cThey don\u2019t complain in their early days when they are disporting themselves on sports cars. I\u2019d like to see a mix of all ages on TV and wish there could be less whingeing about it.\u201d<\/p>\n The Netflix\u00a0series\u00a0Who Killed Jill Dando? comes almost 25 years after her death.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Crimewatch, Holiday and\u00a0Songs Of Praise\u00a0presenter was killed by a single bullet on April 26 1999, on the doorstep of her home in Fulham,\u00a0south-west London.<\/p>\n<\/picture>sad news <\/span><\/p>\n
