BBC commentator known as ‘voice of F1’ sacked over allegations of inappropriate touching

A BBC commentator has been sacked after alleged inappropriate touching.

Jack Nicholls was dismissed by IMG and BBC Radio 5 Live after recent complaints by three people.

Jack Nicholls has been sacked from his commentary role

He had already been fired by Formula E as their lead commentator ahead of last month’s Monaco Grand Prix following an internal investigation.

And now a spokesperson said: “IMG has decided to part ways with Jack Nicholls in light of the incidents that led to his departure from Formula E.”

Allegations first surfaced regarding Nicholls’ behaviour in March.

Three individuals – all employees at Formula E – made complaints, including one he was in a relationship with at the time and two witnesses.

Nicholls said in his own statement when the allegations were made public: “Although disappointed with the decision, I respect it and accept why it was taken.

“I want to take full responsibility for what I did and apologise unreservedly for a couple of isolated incidents that has made those concerned feel uncomfortable.

“I never meant any harm and I am committed to making amends and to be more mindful of my behaviour in future.”
