Not so Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw, the station’s latest breakfast show presenter.
Grimshaw, 28, has been in the job for barely a few weeks but he has already caused outrage with a series of foul-mouthed comments on his Twitter account. As a result, parents have set up an online petition claiming he is a poor role model for younger fans.
In one recent tweet to his 680,000 followers, the presenter wrote: ‘Guess what I want for Breakfast? A TOTAL MINDF***.’ The Facebook group – Get Grimmy off the Radio by Xmas – now has more than 700 members.
Campaigner Richard Sherwood, 28, who has been a Radio 1 listener all his life said: ‘This particular comment was brought to my attention by a friend’s 13-year-old daughter who was until recently a fan of Nick Grimshaw.
"Like a lot of youngsters she wants to know everything she can about the celebs she follows. She stumbled across this comment on Twitter and was very shocked. She showed it to her father who passed it to me.’
Mr Sherwood, a male nurse, added: ‘He’s supposed to be a role model for kids but using this sort of language is surely inappropriate’.
A gay man employed by the BBC has annoyed someone by something he 's done using social media - yup, it's Daily Mail Gold!
But who is this "campaigner" Richard Sherwood?
He seems somewhat strangely obsessed with our Nick.
Oh, and helpful of the Mail to point out Richard is a "male nurse".
Thanks for that.

He has 680,000 twitter followers, but 700 losers with nothing better to do have joined a Get Grimmy Off The Radio By Xmas facebook group???
ReplyDeleteHe must be quaking in his boots!
And hold on a sec. I never listened to his crap show nor read his twitter feed but wasn't Chris Moyles a humourless offensive tool??
As you say: gay man, BBC, etc... Daily Mail Gold.
Apologies for the shonky layout above - there's some gremlin on the Mail's evil website, and everytime I try to change it, it just deletes some of the text...
ReplyDeleteThe Facebook group is locked, but I'm pretty sure it was set up by knucklehead Chris Moyles fans when NG took over the breakfast show - and was not set up by "angry parents" concerned over his recent tweets.
