As a white, middle-class, straight male with an OK career, Jamie fits the current stereotype of a loathsome, over-privileged, toxic bastard.
However, purely because he’s blind, he’s constantly told he’s a role model.
FYI, he isn’t toxic. But surely he should have the choice to be without people continually telling him he’s a hero?
As seen on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News for You, Celebrity MasterChef and QI.
