Radio 2 caller calls Matt Hancock a ‘c**t’ live on air

He still got his song request played though

A caller on BBC Radio 2 left host Sara Cox scrambling after he labelled Matt Hancock a "c**t" live on air as he was requesting a song to be played. The former health secretary is currently taking part in this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! which has prompted anger from many. And this caller made his feelings about the Tory MP very clear after he managed to make it onto Radio 2. Speaking to host Sara Cox, the caller requested the Queen song 'Don't Stop Me Now.' But he left Cox in shock when he followed it up by saying he wanted the song to be played "because Matt Hancock's a c**t." This was then followed up by Cox apologising profusely to anyone who may have been offended by the caller's language. The veteran broadcaster told listeners: "OK, so we've got to cut him off there. This is live radio this kind of thing happens. I can only apologise if you've got children listening in the car." The caller still got his song played though, with Cox saying: "I'm going to play the tune huge apologies. It is live and here's the song." https://twitter.com/PoliticsJOE_UK/status/1593650673152712704 It's not the only time in recent weeks that a BBC radio host has had to apologise for some on-air swearing. Last month, Miriam Margolyes reminded everyone why she's a nation treasure after turning the air blue on Radio 4.

Harry Potter star Margolyes she aired her views on Hunt the day after he replaced Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor.

Speaking about bumping into Hunt, she told hosts Justin Webb and Martha Kearney, as she was finishing her interview: “When I saw him there, I said 'You’ve got a hell of a job, best of luck.’ "And what I really want to say was, ‘F*** you, b*****d.’ But you can't say that.” https://twitter.com/Julian5News/status/1581188050155020288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1581188050155020288%7Ctwgr%5Eefad5cb2d434ee98135988835df618ff98334acb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Fentertainment%2Fmiriam-margolyes-jeremy-hunt-radio-4-363399 There's something about these Tory MPs that people don't like...
