Radio DJ and former I’m A Celebrity contestant Danny Baker was slammed by followers after he made a ‘nasty’ joke following Ozzy Osbourne’s Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Danny, 62, tweeted out his joke and instantly drew criticism from fans.
It’s not the first time the DJ has got into trouble on the social media site – he was axed from BBC Radio Five Live after he was accused of being racist towards Meghan Markle and her baby, Archie.
He apologised profusely, admitting he was not aware of Meghan’s heritage.
Not to be unsympathetic to a genuine hero but when Ozzie Osbourne says his "mild Parkinson's" is down to a fall he once had I'm thinking it must have been when he fell into a vat full of cocaine in 72 and didn't get out again for 35 years.
