Radio 2: Vernon Kay accidently calls Jimmy Somerville ‘Jimmy Savile’ live on-air
Vernon Kay accidentally told singer-songwriter Marc Almond that he duetted with late paedophile Jimmy Savile during a live interview on BBC Radio 2.
Reading out a message from a fan, Kay used Savile’s name instead of Scottish artist Jimmy Somerville.
"I saw him at Pride and I think I was the first one at Hyde Park to run down and wait for him at the front. Amazing," the presenter said of Almond as he read a text.
"His duet with Jimmy Savile - Jimmy Somerville, apologies - just blew me away, absolutely awesome."
