Mind the gaffe: voice of Tube sacked for criticising network

The woman who became the "Voice of the Tube" has been sacked after allegedly criticising London Underground (LU).

Voiceover artist Emma Clarke, 36, is the woman millions of Tube travellers hear warning them to "mind the gap".



Ms Clarke, from Altrincham, Greater Manchester, upset her paymasters by allegedly saying she did not use the Tube because it was "dreadful".

Ms Clarke also made a series of spoof announcements on her website , ( currently down), promoting her voiceover work.

An LU spokesman said: "It's not because of the spoof announcements. It's because she has criticised the Underground system."

"Some of the spoof announcements are very funny. But Emma is a bit silly to go round slagging off her client's services."
