Sexist comments? Can you provide us with a quotation or two? Until then, I'm removed the comment. 88.110.8.226 12:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I could provide hundreds, but he's toned it down lately so it should be removed. --Mr.bonus 14:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I put in that he is 34, as he said a few weeks ago (from today) on The Mint. Anonymous 19:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Whole personality and characteristics section should be removed - or backed-up with ciations in the unlikely event that they can be found. I will delete it unless there is opposition.

-> You can't have a citation for everything, you can see all of these things if you watch the show.

Maybe not, but it should be generally accepted rather than just one person's opinion as it appears to be at the minute. You need something to back this up - articles must be verifiable and watching hours and hours of TV is not a sensible route to take. Wiki should be factual and balanced and this article should conform to biographical standards - at the moment it does not. The section sounds ridiculous at the moment and is an unprovoked attack on Craig, taking a very negative viewpoint. It is not the sort ot thing that should be in an encyclopedia, which is why I removed it. Try finding similar comments in other articles - you won't. (but prove me wrong!) Some of the points may be valid, but if they are to remain they should be rewritten, backed up with some kind of evidence and made more balanced.

See Wikipedia:Verifiability for info.

-> Just noticed the last bullet point - that is the final straw. Section removed. Leave it that way until a decent case can be made on here for its reinclusion.

I agree that a number of items should be removed from the Personality and Characteristics section. Several of the comments are not statement of fact, but are the contributor's personal opinions and as such are somewhat arbitrary and judgemental: "Craig Stevens enjoys flirting with female presenters...is a married man....hardly a discreet situation for such behaviour" "...in a typically camp and exaggerated way because everything he does camp is OK." "....has no issues with lying to the viewers" --82.35.212.26 01:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

The peroxide blonde bit is untrue, craig was born blonde and just has highlights done. Prob as he was going grey.

I don't think that this needed discussing. You should have just removed the offending text, it obviously should not have been in the article. Mr.bonus 15:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
