"I’m a bit taken aback by the sexist reference to Ellie Boyce on there"

You mean this, presumably:

"They wanted a silly old bugger namely me and a bright young thing namely Ellie Boyce who nailed it in my view."

"Bright young thing" is defined as "an enthusiastic, ambitious, and self-consciously fashionable young person", so well done you for finding something offensive to moan about when it is not there.
