Peter Simon - Will he continue to present?

Dirty Peter was selling a new line of cheap stink called 'Nikki Beach'.

I'd be here all day if I typed all the complete and utter bullshit he reeled off but among it all was 'The colours are distinctive, from Miami to St TrooPee, to not only Barbella and Mexico.

Little warning Peter has some fairies on tonight

And who better to present a collection of fairies than Mr Peter Simon?

He just said Elizabeth Taylor was born in 1935. Nearly right, 1932.

Peter is giving his gold sale the full treatment. He says 'from a night out in the warmth of a Restaurant, in a Hotel, the Champs-Élysées, CLACTON OR BOURNEMOUTH'.

He's taking the piss isn't he?

Here we go again, It's not much short of 2g. Oh really Peter

'It's a lot of gold' and 'not short of 2 grams'. Actually it's 67% of a gram short of 2 grams.

Tutt Tutt.

Outrageous mis-selling Mega.

There's only two possibilities. Either he is deliberately trying to deceive, or he is an incompetent fool who simply shouldn't be selling products on TV.

Take your pick.

Totally agree, Peter annoys me so much when selling anything gold. He's just so bad when you compare him to Andy when he's selling gold.
Imo any shopping channel should be made to put the gold weight on the screen. How they expect anybody to make an informed decision on buying it without the actual intrinsic value determinator on screen is beyond me.... especially with presenters deliberately being vague & imo over zealous on its value.

1.33g is scrap value of about £13.70. How on earth he can use its actual gram weight as a selling point is beyond me.

I can't believe Peter is still getting away with this selling given current climate. The only presenter I trust is Andy H.

He didn't even use it's actual gram weight though, he made his own weight up!

I'm shocked once again they know they are being watched but are still doing it 1.33g is not nearly 2g Peter - The people in the gallery should have jumped on that straight away and make him retract it telling us the real weight or does Peter not know the weight and he's just saying what the producer is telling him to? Who knows, Maybe on this 1 its not Peter to blame.

Good job they have dropped the biggest discount channels slogan too because at these prices its not hard to see why...start price £55 sold for £48.50, Another item start price £40, Sold for £38.99 :O

Yep he's really pushing the "A lot of gram weight" & "A lot of gold" comments now, he's just so annoying. I really hope people who aren't familiar with how gold prices work aren't buying it, fair enough if he was selling it on its looks merit but he's specifically making comments about its weight when trying to justify its value & price.

Those comments are pretty much by the by Mr M.

'Not short of 2 grams' when it actually weighs 1.33 grams isn't though. It's exaggeration, simple as that.

All this could easily be avoided if Sit Up could just go down the transparent route by clearly stating the gram weight on screen, job done.

But no, they'd rather be vague and one has to ask why? Unfortunately when you have idiots like Peter Simon on board the vague route is only ever going to lead to trouble.

If the bosses at Sit-Up had any brains they wouldn't let him go anywhere near jewellery, he simply does not appear to possess the necessary skills to sell it without fear of generating yet more ASA complaints.

At the end of selling a breast cancer item Peter Simon said something on the lines of....for those of you like me, if your diagnosed, Fight it with all your might, First time I've heard him mention himself having cancer of some kind. He got quite emotional too telling us about his brother's wife who passed away from breast cancer earlier this year and said now his mum has it. Poor Peter, He looks on the road to recovery himself though which is good to see

He said similar last week when he was selling this but I didn't associate it with him having/had cancer. He got a bit confused and said his step sister had died but then mentioned how his brother was devastated and thought maybe it was his sister in law he meant. Then he went on to say his Mother was now suffering. He seemed to have tremendous trouble holding it together and he was clearly very upset.

Peter just said next week is his final monday show for quite a while, Elisa said she is taking over hopefully

Elisa also said earlier when they were in bed together that this might be the last chance she gets to hit him with a pillow

I think he is better suited to later shifts, I would guess he just going to do another evening slot instead.
