Chris wasn't allowed to carry the olympic torch!

[chrisjames]

Apparantely the people in charge of the olympic torch ceremony thing said that Chris MOyles wasn't allowed to carry the torch on to the stage on saturday and they wanted Fearne Cotton to carry it instead. Why would they do that? Bit bizarre. Chris seems a bit upset about it,even slagging off the olympic games a bit. They seem to have ruined the whole weekend for him!

This another Daily Fail exclusive?

This is only speculation - he didn't even go into too much detail when he talked about it on the show.

On Saturday afternoon's show, he said clearly that the original plan had been for the soundclash winner to carry it, but the torch people (whoever decides these things) had specified that they only wanted Fearne to do it. It isn't speculation.

That's awful.

Well its a bit of a slap in the face. But its not exactly awful, not in the great scheme of things. Put it this way - if that was the worst thing that happened to him at the weekend, he had a pretty good weekend.

Yuds, you are right as it could have been worse. No one from the Olympic torch organization said anything publicly about not wanting Chris to bring the torch on stage, also Chris and Fearne didn't get injured that day (or anything between these two possibilities). It would be good if the team got to hold the torch on one of their remote broadcasts for the torch relay, but I think the chances of that is slim.

But why are the authorities favouring Fearne over Chris? Is it because she won a sony gold? It's almost as if they're saying Fearne is the no 1 DJ on Radio One,but she's not.It's Chris! As long as he's doing the breakfast show anyway. It's a slap in the face to Chris and I don't think he should take it lying down!

Its sunny outside. Go out in it.

Oh good grief, it's another non-story. Let it be, let it be, oh let it be.

In fairness to chrisjames, Nic said what he posted was true so it's a valid thread on this forum really.

[Travis Bickle]

Is this another merged thread?

Amazingly nope.

Oh I know but it was where he was getting all worked up about how they're saying that Fearne is the number one DJ.

[The Deadly]

To be fair Chris was mocking the whole torch ceremony thing quite a lot on air so you can see their point.

[Travis Bickle]

From what I heard we didnt get the explanation from the torch people. All we heard was Moyles say that they didnt want him to carry it.

[R94N]

I doubt Chris is really that bothered by it.

[Nicola_Red]

What made you think it was merged?

[Evs]

Most likely that Fearne is a girl and (arguably) looks better on camera at a guess. Won't be anything more than a petty cosmetic decision.

I'm gonna guess it's something to do with them making fun of the lighting ceremony.

[GarethH]

Glad to see the torch people finally saw sense!

[Turicum]

He looks good

[swaddon1903]

I think our Chris has played a little trick on us. The rogue.

[The Deadly]

Good for him! It has been hard for me not to bite back to some of the comments on Twitter. Some people on there are seriously dumb.

I've not had a look, but I'm guessing the words 'undeserved', 'fat', 'loudmouth' and 'talentless' are being frequently used? As he said himself on air, he and the team have raised millions for charity, so if anyone deserves to run with the Olympic torch, then he does.
