Ex BBC star Liz Kershaw has slammed the corporation for its “hypocritical” behaviour towards Steve Wright – declaring it “makes her sick.”
The legendary DJ sadly passed away this week after an “incident” at his London home. His family released a heartbreaking statement yesterday (February 13). They announced that he had passed away at the age of just 69.
Now, the BBC has come under fire by one of its former stars over its “shabby” treatment of Steve when he was alive.

Back in September 2022, Steve was reportedly left devastated after bosses at the BBC decided to axe his iconic Steve Wright in the Afternoon Radio 2 show. The presenter had a four decade-long career at the BBC – and worked on shows for both Radio 1 and Radio 2.
At the time Steve was asked how he was feeling following the news that his time on air would be coming to an end. He said: “Sometimes people want you, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes there are changes and they give you another offer – and that’s okay. I understand that, I really understand that.”
He remained on air until a day before his death, presenting his Sunday Love Songs show for Radio 2.
