Metro UK has reported - Danny Baker has been sacked from the BBC after seemingly comparing the Royal Baby to a monkey.
The 61-year-old broadcaster last night shared a picture of a couple leaving a hospital, holding hands with a chimpanzee, with the caption:
‘Royal baby leaving hospital.’
He deleted the tweet and insisted he didn’t have any racist intent.
According to reports, controller Jonathan Wall told all 5 Live staff in an email: ‘Danny made a serious error of judgement on social media last night and it goes against the values we live and breathe on this radio station.’
