I’m surprised Stephen Mulhern and Ben Shephard aren’t employeesI saw an interview a couple of weeks ago on a channel called NVTV and Gerry Kelly a local chat show host has his own show. He was interviewing Eamonn Holmes. Eamonn was very bitter because he classes himself as a freelancer but the inland revenue argued he was an ITV employee. However Lorraine Kelly who has exclusively for 40 years worked at ITV won the case and didn't have to pay. I had to go freelance myself after working for one broadcaster for over a decade. The only people who are truly an employee in the case of ITV presenters (for sake of argument as it is very complicated and I'm not an expert) are Ant and Dec who signed several golden handcuff deals over the years to exclusively work there, and even then it isn't that simple.
