Remember when I wrote to the BBC about Chris Moyles? I got a reply!

[Dave Youell]

Dear Mr Youell

Thank you for your e-mail.

I apologise for the rather crass and insensitive comments Chris Moyles made on the Radio 1 breakfast show concerning the death of Eddie Guerrero.

I accept that Chris over-stepped the mark making a joke about 'carrying the coffin' as well as illustrating his ignorance about the circumstances of the wrestler's death. In Chris' defence he also said 'it is sad' and 'our thoughts and prayers go out to his family'.

I have subsequently spoken to the team and impressed on them that these comments were not only insensitive but also offensive. The whole team accept that they were in the wrong.

May I take this opportunity to once again apologise for any offence or distress we may have caused.

Yours faithfully

Rhys Hughes

Executive Producer, BBC Radio 1
