Former BBC  Radio 5 Live presenter Danny Baker is in a lot of bother over a tweet sent earlier in week about the announcement of the royal baby. The presenter chose and image of a couple walking down a set of steps holding the hands of a chimpanzee, and then put the caption  “Royal baby leaves hospital”.It is not too hard to see that this tweet was received to many as racist and may be also alluded to  Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle’s mixed race background.

Danny Baker has since apologised for the tweet and offered his explanations of what  “serious error of judgment”. His error of judgement has now cost him his career, “Danny’s a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us,” the spokesperson said, confirming his sacking.

Mario was joined by journalist Larissa Nolan and comedian Fred Cooke on this weeks panel  to discuss this morning and the item received a massive reaction from listeners with the majority agreeing that Danny really should have known better.
