In a less than surprising move following the former Deputy Prime Minister's astonishing Bulimia revelations, two of the UK's leading meat pie producers, Premier Food's Fray Bentos and Ginster's Cornish Pasties, have independently decided to withdraw their sponsorship deals with the angst-ridden, clearly suffering thirty six stone ex-politician.
From their manufacturing base in Long Sutton, one senior manager of Fray Bentos expressed his disappointment and disgust at the fact that 'Eight Pies Johnny' hadn't been keeping all of the meaty goodness with 'no lumps of fat or gristle - guaranteed!' in his digestive system, but was instead lobbing it up on a regular basis.
A spokeswoman for Ginsters went one step further however, clearly upset that revelations of Mr Prescott 'going behind his wife's back to raid the fridge' was obviously more upsetting to the general public than 'going behind his wife's back to raid his secretary's knickers'.
While details of the original endorsement deals are unknown, various sources in the convenience meat industry have indicated that Prescott could be short of up to twelve fully-laden vans of sausage rolls, pasties and wraps, although it's no secret that anything with a fat content less than forty percent was usually dismissed as 'health food shit' and thrown directly to the Prescott's dog.
When contacted for comment, Mr Prescott was said to be 'unavailable' although sounds of fake vomiting and giggles could clearly be heard in the background.
