‘I would never wish to offend anyone from my shows. My sincere and wholehearted apologies.’ Capital Radio DJ Ant Payne has apologised for a horrific joke he made about Turkey on his show on Monday following the earthquake in the country.
Ant Payne hosts a Drivetime show on the radio station between 4pm-7pm, and made the joke during his programme on Monday.
Entire neighbourhoods were flattened in many towns nearer the epicentre of the 7.8-magnitude shock, which was followed hours later by an aftershock nearly as powerful. One listener tweeted the presenter: ‘Cant believe I just heard @ant_man_go make fun of the #Turkeyearthquake on @CapitalOfficial – he said “flight from now for a few years should be cheap to Turkey to get your teeth done” I wonder how all the Turkish&Syrian communities and victims of this disaster feel about that?’Payne apologised but had earlier suggested he didn’t make the joke live on-air
Another weighed in: ‘What did you mean then when you replied “I said nothing of the sort”? Were you misinterpreted? I think you need to explain this further if you want it to go away.’
