The Argus in Brighton has scrapped its plans to have homeless former television newsreader Ed Mitchell present its online video bulletins.
The arrangement “has been cancelled by mutual consent”, according to an Argus report that Mitchell had been arrested at a Brighton hotel. He was later released without charge, the Argus reported.
Mitchell’s poor publicity continued today as the Times published an interview with Mitchell’s mother, in which she said her son’s alcoholism had driven her to kick him out of her home in September.
