Miriam Margoyles says ‘f*** you’ live on Radio 4’s Today programme as Jeremy Hunt arrives for interview
Miriam Margoyles broke the first rule of radio this morning (Saturday 15 October) as she said “f*** you” live on the Today programme.
The actor was reacting to the arrival of the new chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, in the BBC Radio 4 studio when she swore.
“When I saw him there,” she told the hosts Justin Webb and Martha Kearney, as she was leaving, “I said, ‘You’ve got a hell of a job, best of luck.’ And what I really want to say was, ‘F*** you, bastard.’ But you cant say that.”
“Oh no no no you mustn’t say that,” replied Webb, through laughter. “We’ll have to have you out of the studio now.”
“We will,” added Kearney. “With many apologies.”
