Jeremy Wade, 66, (right holding a 6ft Dorado Catfish) host of the ITV hit television show River Monsters, told MailOnline that the overwhelming number of fishing enthusiasts are male and are keen to be branded fishermen, and that the angler is ideal for both males and females. On The One Show (left), Sam, 30, had referred to Ronan Keating as a "fly fisherman." The pop star, who does not identify as exclusively a man or a woman and uses the pronouns they/them, said the Boyzone singer should use a gender-neutral term: 'Fisher-them', adding: 'I love fishing!Yes, I do! Sure, I'd like to be a fisherman-them'. Viewers were confused and today, Mr Wade said, 'Unfortunately "fishermen" does reflect the new reality, but events are shifting and I'm all about changing more.' They'already have an inclusive non-clunky term'angler,' which he'would like to see in more everyday use,' he said. 'It's wonderful to know that Sam is one of our increasingly diverse number,' he said.
