Looks like Em’s for me, me, me!

I USED to admire Emily Maitlis. Now I think the woman who gave a sermon (sorry, speech) at Edinburgh TV Festival has lost the plot – slating her former BBC bosses for kowtowing to the Government (when most of us believe the Beeb’s a mouthpiece for the Left) and claiming it was biased in favour of Brexit.

Well in her alternativ­e universe it might have been, but not from where most Brits were sitting who saw the Corporatio­n’s (and Emily’s) sneering contempt for Brexit on a daily basis.

Poor ego-maniacal Em now believes that what SHE says and thinks is way more important than any story she is presenting.

Still, she works in radio now.

So her Remain-ery, unbalanced, deluded opinions are reaching a much smaller audience – which is a blessing for us all!

■ TV COOK Gino D’Acampo says he was filming with Gordon Ramsay when a fan asked him for an autograph. He tried to make conversati­on by saying, “So when’s the baby due?”

The angry woman snapped back: “I’m not pregnant. I’ve just had a couple of bad years and put lots of weight on.”

Big oops. Boxer Barry McGuigan once asked me the same question. I’d ballooned after too many doughnuts and the minute the words were out of his mouth, his fabulous wife Sandra shouted “idiot” at him and delivered a punch in the ribs that would have winded Tyson Fury.

■ IN the National TV Awards, Sir David Attenborou­gh is up against Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper in the Best Expert category.

The fabulously cheeky Kaleb, who is totally bemused by his nomination, says he’ll be voting for Attenborou­gh.

But I suspect that this time, as much as we love Sir David, the country will be throwing its support behind this passionate young farmer who refuses to let Clarkson get away with a trick!
