Invited on to the Six O’Clock News to make his public apology, Cleverley bursts out of his management-imposed contrition like a latter-day, anti-trolling Peter Finch in Network. But, no (and maybe here Boyne recalls his own initial misstep when he fuelled the Jessica shemozzle by replying). Rumbustious and unstinting, Boyne is at his most persuasive when he pulls back a littleĪnd it could so easily have ended there.
It’s he who makes the Jessica blunder when, tweeting in support of his solicitors’ receptionist who is transitioning to become Nadia, he makes the mistake of referring to her as a he and brings down the fury of the thumb-driven commentariat. Standing atop this pyramid of unlikability is George Cleverley, a Parkinsonesque chatshow host and self-declared national treasure.
