Overview
- Kay told listeners on BBC Radio 2 that a producer had 'banned' him from discussing his Saturday-morning bacon sandwich during the station's mid-morning programme.
- He described the item in a playful 'Nigella Lawson' style, using sensual language about butter and sourdough that the producer, Janine, told him sounded 'quite creepy.'
- The exchange happened after Kay returned from a short break and follows his recent announcement that he will take some Fridays off to accompany his younger daughter on university open days.
- Kay apologised on air for having a sore, 'throaty' voice and said the show might feature 'more music, less chat' as he felt under the weather.
- National and local outlets have framed the moment as light celebrity coverage rather than a formal disciplinary action, though it highlights how producers steer tone on daytime radio.
