ROB as usual you've explained it fairly and that was exactly how it happened but it was yet another example of Channel4's editing. If you hadn't seen the whole episode on E4 you would certainly get the impression that Paul was, at worst homophobic, and at best crass and illogical about people's sexuality.

I think he was just under terrible pressure and didn't really know how to cope. Remember by then he had survived four nominations on the trot and was anxious and upset by this (although he hid this very well outside of the diaryroom, a lot better than Jonny did by the way) as well as having to cope with his confused feelings about Helen. I'd like to see anyone on this board be coherent about anything after seven weeks of being under that sort of pressure.
