After Chris was sacked last week for finding papping celebs difficult, the same problem worked against Blair. When asked to defend himself he had little to say.“You’re right, I only delivered one set of pictures and I knew I could do that as it was a situation I could control. When I’m out in the street papping I really struggle with this industry,” said Blair. Janet said: “Ok Blair, I’m sorry I’ve got to say this, you can’t hack it so clear your desk. You are out of here. Say your goodbyes to everyone and then you’re out of here.”As he cleared his desk Blair said: “I actually backed myself this week because I felt like I hadn’t done enough.” Janet and co were keen to show there were no hard feelings and Janet said it was a decision made more difficult after she’d had to sack Lisa. “At least you’re going out without a strop!” she remarked.
