Dicko departs Can of Worms

Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson won’t stay as host of Ten’s Can of Worms for the next series in a move he is characterising as firing himself.

While the network has given the green light for a season two in 2012, Dickson, who created the show, said in a statement: “I’m giving myself no alternative but to sack me as host of the show.”

Can of Worms was Dickson’s plan to “get Australia talking” and encourage “heated family debates about racism, euthanasia, swearing and boobs!”
