Everybody has stuff to go through. Do you how I've dealt with that? Sorry I'm getting a bit emotional," before he bowed his head and shied his eyes from the camera. When presenter Josie tried to comfort him, he pushed her away and said 'no no don't do that, the crying looks good on telly', before jumping back into his usual self as Craig Doyle quizzed him on whether he'd ever go back to TV. "I live in TikTok land but never say never about returning to TV," he mused. Michael previously slammed his former bosses in an interview with the Daily Star, sharing: "It's strange that companies don't employ innocent people. Maybe you have to be guilty to get a job in TV, I don't know. From my experience they don't employ innocent people. It's unfair, of course. It's terrible. You're supposed to support people. You're supposed to support the people that work for you." Michael had previously admitted it has taken him over two decades to get his confidence back. He said: "The amount of confidence you need to work the way I did at my peak was phenomenal and that took years t){kind=link}
