This morning the Managing Director of Essex FM came on air to say that it's two key presenters (Martin and Sue) had been suspended and their breakfast show taken off air until a full investigation had been conducted. He then went on to apologise for their comments and the content of their Friday breakfast show!!!

So what did they do to cause such an extreme reaction?

A publicity stunt by all accounts.

Is that a guess, or a fact?

TWO popular presenters have been removed from a breakfast radio show after making lewd comments about Boy Scouts.

DJs Martin Day and Su Harrison, who present the Essex FM breakfast show, were replaced on Monday's programme by other presenters from the radio station.

Listeners were given an apology for the content of Martin and Su’s show on Friday, but fans have been stunned by the pair’s absence and many are campaigning for their return.

Chris Cotton, the station’s programme controller, said: “I can’t really go into it based on the nature of the comments that were made. But it wasn’t an insult.

“Martin and Su haven’t been removed permanently."

Some fans are planning to protest outside the station’s offices in Chelmsford on Tuesday morning.

Tania Furber, 32, of St John’s Way, Corringham, said: “Lots of us are planning to protest with banners. I love them, they wake me up in the morning. Nothing else compares.

“They just like a joke. It’s not fair they have gone off air.”

Maybe they left rude messages on Andrew Sach's answerphone?

Dib dib dib, dob dob dob, stick a condom on your knob.

Obviously Outraged from Essex got their knickers in a twist over the above rhyme, though the last word wasn't even mentioned.

That's IT? Good grief. Hardly the world's most offensive commentary on a news story.
