A ‘Santa’, not the real one of course, has been sacked for being too fat and the world has just gotten a little more sad.
Being of a similar build I can sympathise with the need for being as healthy as possible so that I can do my job well but this is a job where you are portraying a fat person and thus he should be more suited than most to wear the the red suit.
LaplandUK are trying to provide a great Christmas performance but it looks like they are taking on the role of the Grinch. Ho, ho, ho, this is a lo, lo, lo act.
