Nick Abbot & Carol McGiffin | 28 August 1999 | LBC

Nick remained at Talk Radio until Thursday 12th November 1998. That day was referred to as Black Thursday by many Abbot fans - the day when Nick was fired by Kelvin MacKenzie because he didn't 'fit in' with the station's new format. Nick stayed at Virgin Radio with his six day a week afternoon music-led show. In March 1999, LBC annouced that Nick would be co-presenting a new Saturday evening show with Carol McGiffin. The show ended in September 1999 when both their contracts expired. Nick's last ever words on LBC were '"Oh, by the way, I'm a lesbian."
