Jim Davidson being cancelled is a 'waste of talent' says former co-host: 'He's a comic genius'

A former co-star of Jim Davidson has described him as a comic genius.

John Virgo appeared with Davidson on snooker game-show Big Break in the 1990s. While Virgo has continued to work on snooker commentary, Davidson has been cancelled over a series of controversial comments and TV appearances.

Announcing he was being axed from commentary, Virgo spoke warmly about his former co-host, describing him not being on TV as a waste of talent.
