Feeling snubbed
MR Motivator, also known as Derrick Evans, has criticized ITV for what he perceives as overlooking fitness presenters like himself in favor of other personalities, such as Family Fortunes’ Gino D’Acampo.
Speaking out
The 72-year-old fitness icon expressed his frustration, stating that he believes he could do a better job than some of the current presenters on ITV. He called out the broadcaster for producing what he called "cheap TV" and accused them of tokenism.
Desire for his own show
Mr Motivator emphasized that he feels he has earned the right to have his own show and questioned why he is not given the opportunity to present programs like Family Fortunes, which he believes are relatively easy to host.
Call for more health-focused content
Expressing his disappointment with the lack of health and fitness content on television, the TV legend criticized the emphasis on quiz shows over programs that promote well-being. He recently launched a campaign with HomeServe focusing on stress relief through DIY and movement.
Pushing for change
Mr Motivator also highlighted the importance of mental health and fitness, mentioning his appearance on This Morning in 2023 to discuss the connection between the two. However, he expressed frustration with what he perceived as tokenism in the industry.
