DEJECTED George Hook was booted off the air yesterday by Newstalk bosses over his controvers­ial rape comments.

The 76-year-old looked down in the dumps as he arrived at his home in Foxrock, South Dublin, when he should have been hosting his High Noon show. An industry insider said: “The reality is George’s brand is now so toxic Newstalk can’t put him back on air.”
