The Essex-born presenter, who was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, said “there's never been a better time in British TV” but believed better representation would only send the quality soaring. Asked what he would change about British television, he told Radio Times: “I'd like more working-class people in TV because they're greatly under-represented - not just in television, but in all media."
