Oh Barf..."Andy Gray: I considered killing myself after Sky sexism row"


"Shut it, scroteface." - Sian Massey's imaginary comments when I interviewed her in my head.

The former Sky Sports presenter Andy Gray has admitted that he considered killing himself after being sacked by the broadcaster for making sexist remarks about a football official and a fellow colleague.

The 56-year-old Gray made the admission in an interview with London's Evening Standard in which he also said he has found the decision to sack him and the stain it has cast on his reputation hard to accept.

Asked if he has considered taking his own life since his dismissal, he said: "Yes. I would be lying if I said I didn't. I had never felt like I have felt from January 25th [last year] onwards."
