The Steet: not home to Gers fans

This would have followed on from an earlier remark, already broadcast, when he noted: "I could no more be interested in Rosie Webster than I could support Glasgow Rangers."

Fans of the Ibrox club apparently responded to this slight by besieging the phone lines at ITV – well, “dozens” of them did anyway – to lodge complaints.

As a result the upcoming ‘allergy’ remark has now been rewritten.

An ITV spokesperson was quoted as saying: " We have to bear in mind that it does seem to have caused some upset so the decision was made to take the line out.

"It doesn't compromise the drama of the episode and if it did then the line definitely wouldn't have been taken out."

"We also felt in the absence of a character balancing things up on the other side of the Old Firm, it was a line not worth repeating."

(A rumour that an upcoming episode of the show entitled ‘Man City are crap and all the money in the world won’t change that’ has had to be entirely re-written was confirmed as utter bullshit at the time of writing. Ed)
