“It can’t just start from someone on television. (It has to include) the commissioning team, the controllers of these channels.”
“We pride ourselves in this country on how diverse it is,” he told the PA news agency. “It needs to be… shown on TV.”
TV “has to be representative of what this country is, to show people from all backgrounds and all walks of life, ” Gilligan, who recently filmed Celebrity Bake Off, said.
Gilligan will give fans “never-before-seen cuts from his life, upcoming tour and worldwide travels” on his YouTube channel.
“People can see what’s happening behind the scenes,” he said.
He will be joined rap star Tinie Tempah and the star of YouTube’s Chicken Shop Date Amelia Dimoldenberg, ahead of his worldwide tour There’s Mo To Life.
