- Kay told Radio 2 listeners he puts BBC Radio 5 Live, the BBC’s news and sport station, on at the weekend, then joked “for legal reasons” he had to say he likes his job.
- He singled out Match of the Day host Mark Chapman as a “great” and “tremendous” broadcaster while describing his Saturday routine.
- Moments later he tried to undo the remark, saying he had not thought it through and had talked himself into “a cul-de-sac.”
- National and regional outlets reported the exchange as an awkward, light moment with no sign of formal action from the BBC.
- The flap follows past minor bits on his show, including a listener’s complaint about his blackhead chat and a playful “I just got fired” line at Radio 2 in the Park.
