As a PI solicitor I'd love to know how that settlement was reached. Apparently he'd sued for a swollen lip and racial discrimination. The discrimination aspect might be a few thousand but the lip would be worth a couple hundred quid assuming a recovery within a week or two. Presumably he's signed a confidentiality agreement of some sort where he can only disclose the amount of settlement and been compensated to keep his gob shut.
Given that he was blamed quite loudly and vociferously (albeit by idiot members of the public) for the demise of one of the BBCs flagship programs, that must have hurt his employment prospects quite badly. If you add loss of earnings into the mix, the figure doesn't seem too bad.
