Given the current climate you'd think a BBC DJ would want to keep his head down.
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.

Nick Grimshaw: #MissMoyles
When I first saw this I thought "Miss Moyles" was a new nickname for Grimmy.
Can we make it so?
PS Guests on his first show included Harry Styles, Justin Bieber and Matt Smith... Hellew!
Were Tom Daley and Lady Gaga busy?
PPS Thought I'd post this photo below as I found itarousing amusing.

Scott Mills: Bye
Britain's second most boring gay man has written his autobiography.
Mere words can not convey my - or indeed the entire world's - total lack of interest.
Remaindered shops here we come!

BBC Radio 1: Good Mornings
Great to hear that Chris Moyles is quitting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and, greater still, to hear Nick Grimshaw is taking over.
Who better to replace that homophobic boorish bore than this enchanting and excitable probable gayer.
Though is there much other evidence for this probable?
Apart from his presenting style, obvs.
Asking for a friend.

BBC Radio 1: Sexuality Night
Last night Radio 1's problem programme for the younglings, The Surgery With Aled, was a three hour special, Sexuality Night, given over to "a frank and honest conversation... on a whole range of subjects, like the bond between straight guys, are bisexuals just greedy people, coming out, feeling pressure to conform, what's still out there stopping individuals being who they are, we'll be asking whether anyone is truly 100% gay or straight, and there are only three categories when it comes to sexuality, is this true, and labels, do they help or hinder society when it comes to sexuality..."
Aled (Jones) is Chris Moyles' producer, and a great big gayer to boot - rather surprisingly.
I'll listen to it later, promise - Eddie Mair's not doing PM today.
