Dark forces at work, claims Keys

RICHARD KEYS last night quit as Sky’s football anchorman after claiming “dark forces” were at work in the sexism scandal that had already cost fellow presenter Andy Gray his job.

Keys apologised yesterday for making disparaging remarks about female assistant referee Sian Massey but insisted he was prevented from making his apology public.

Keys said in a statement released by Sky Sports: “I am deeply sorry for my remarks and the offence they have caused; it was wrong and should not have happened. I have thought long and hard and reached the decision that it is time to move on.
