This is bizarre. But it's still not as bad as that dud from Darwin who carried on the charade of having been a champion Olympic swimmer until somebody looked it up and found out he'd never even been near the Games.
A CHANNEL Nine newsreader has quit after being accused of asking a female fan to complain about a fellow presenter.
Brisbane weekend newsreader Mike London ended a 17-year career with the station effective immediately, saying his resignation was in the best interests of his family, friends and Channel Nine Queensland, given the allegations against him.
Brisbane's Courier Mail newspaper has run a series of articles alleging a feud between Mr London and weekday reader Bruce Paige.
Mr Paige replaced Mr London as Nine's weeknight anchor in Brisbane eight years ago.
The Courier Mail newspaper said Brisbane schoolteacher Karen Rolff alleged Mr London had asked her in an e-mail to make a complaint to the station that Mr Paige needed a "personality bypass".
In another email, he allegedly said that watching Mr Paige "would be the ultimate torture".
Mr London admitted he had sent e-mails to Ms Rolff, but said the messages had been reworked with his address on them.
Mr Paige read news of Mr London's departure in Nine's bulletin tonight.
That last line is my favourite bit, can any Brisbane readers tell us if he delivered the news with a massive smile on his face?
