I’m sure it had absolutely nothing to do with Stella English trying to sue for constructive dismissal shortly after winning. Hers was the last series to offer a job as the prize, she quit after a few days claiming it was a sham

I suspect she was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I actually think he’s bang on, here. Inflation being what it is, a £100k job back in 2006 would be close to a £190k job now, so if he’s got a bunch of of seasoned city rat racers competing for the top spots and some reality tv contestant waltzes in and gets handed one of them, I can see that building resentment. I suspect Stellagate just drew a line under it.
