That happens to more famous people, he made himself a larger media news item, he was a victim, he wasnt damaged goods, and i doubt anyone would have faulted him for what happened, no matter what anyone says. This just smacks of whiplash claim.
I might be talking complete rubbish, but do we really know that Oisin is really suing or is Slater and Gordon just using his name for publicity.
I suspect that the suit is more directed at the BBC than at JC. I ask myself who's more likely to delay a contract settlement, and the answer rings up BBC every time.
I really do not think Jeremy would have minded giving him something to ease the situation. The bbc, not so much. But when you start asking for what is probably more than you make in a year for something so trivial, well, there ya go.
