Andi Oliver ‘wants to kill' Radio 1 DJ after lewd comments towards daughter
Andi Oliver has revealed she 'loathes' Radio DJ Chris Moyles after he asked listeners if they would have sex with her then 16-year-old daughter Miquita Oliver. The TV chef has been in the limelight for many years, and helped her daughter Miquita become a presenter in her youth. While Andi has said she was happy to give her daughter a leg up in the entertainment industry, she has admitted it came with a lot of downsides. She added that lewd comments made about Miquita's appearance have stuck with her, and led her to still 'loathe' Chris Moyles, a DJ who hosted a debate asking listeners if they would sleep with her teenage daughter. Speaking to The iPaper, she spoke about her then-teenage daughter finding fame co-hosting Channel 4's Noughties music show Popworld. 'I was really proud of her,' she said. 'There weren't many 15-year-olds that could step into a national environment like that and be interviewing some of the most famous pop stars in the world with no script, and just doing it brilliantly as well, and being very funny.' 'It was very stressful – to be a schoolkid and suddenly have paparazzi following you, and people talking about whether you're too fat or too thin.' She then referenced the incident involving radio DJ Chris Moyles: 'Miquita was 16 and he had a phone-in on his show of: 'Would you sh*g her?' On Radio One. I wanted to kill him. I still kind of do.' She then added: 'There aren't many people I loathe who I've never met, but I'd do time for that man.' She then speculated what might happen if she confronted him about it today: 'He'd backpedal a lot, but I don't care. It's like when people say: 'Oh, I didn't really mean to call you a n****r, I was drunk.' Yeah, well, I don't become a racist when I'm drunk. It just means you let it out. 'So I don't care if it was the Noughties, when there was that awful lad culture where it was acceptable to talk about women like that.' She added that there wasn't support in place to help her daughter at the time. 'I don't think she was properly supported by any of the channels that she worked for. She was a kid, yet the duty of care wasn't there.' In 2023, Charlotte Church appeared in Kathy Burke's Channel 4 documentary and spoke about Moyles offering to take her virginity. 'There was this shift where I became fair game,' she said. More Trending In 2021 while appearing on the Sink The Pink Pop Tart podcast, she said: There was a countdown to me losing my virginity.' She claimed: '[There was] a countdown then Chris Moyles talked about it on Radio 1. It was all a bit gross really.' 'We've come a certain way, but there's a long way to go in terms of feminism and equality but there's bigots everywhere and hopefully we can heal them all. Maybe some of them will just have to die out.' Metro has reached out to Chris Moyles and the BBC for comment. Got a story?

Andi Oliver fumes at Chris Moyles after vile comments about her daughter Miquita
Andi Oliver has revealed she is still fuming with comments made by radio DJ Chris Moyles about her daughter, Miquita Oliver, 25 years ago on Radio 1 Andi Oliver has admitted she is yet to forgive Chris Moyles - and has no intention of doing so - following his treatment of her daughter 25 years ago. The TV chef, 62, recalled the vile segment of a past show ran by the DJ, 51. In it, he asked his Radio 1 listeners if they would "s**g" her T4 host daughter, Miquita Oliver. Miquita was only 16 at the time, while Chris was 26. While Andi said she never confronted the DJ about the behaviour, she admitted she "loathed" him and believes he would have just tried to "back peddle". Speaking to The iPaper, Andi said: "Miquita [who is now 41]was 16 and he had a phone-in on his show of: 'Would you s**g her?' On Radio One. I wanted to kill him." She admitted she still "kind of" wants to kill him, confessing there aren't many people she loathes despite never meeting them, but Chris is one. When she was asked about confronting him, Adni claimed she believed any interaction would see him try to play down the incident. And she admitted any excuse that it was over two decades ago doesn't sit right with her, either. "So I don't care if it was the Noughties, when there was that awful lad culture where it was acceptable to talk about women like that'." Chris Moyles was also branded 'gross' by Charlotte Church for his treatment of her when she shot to fame as a young opera singer. Talking on the Sink The Pink Pop Tart podcast in 2021, the mother-of-three, now aged 38, said: There was a countdown to me losing my virginity.'She claimed: '[There was] a countdown then Chris Moyles talked about it on Radio one. It was all a bit gross really.' Last year, Andi also opened up about treatment within the business. The Great British Menu host called out the 'fake outrage' over Gregg Wallace's scandal last year and said "everyone knew" and there are 'tonnes of others who behave badly'. She told the Guardian last year she was 'not surprised' by the allegations being made about Wallace, which included making 'inappropriate sexual jokes." Andi said: "There's a certain culture that allows it to happen. Somebody should have nipped that s**t in the bud a long time ago. It's not like nobody knew it was happening. I heard stuff. Everyone did. And there are tonnes of others who go around behaving badly.' Months later, BBC broke its silence on the findings in the investigation against Wallace. In July, following the release of Banijay's report into the presenter's behaviour on the set of MasterChef, the organisation released a statement. The 60-year-old TV presenter parted ways with the BBC show after 50 more people came forward to make allegations of misconduct, which he strongly denied. The BBC said: "The investigation details a substantial number of allegations of inappropriate conduct spanning 19 years. This behaviour falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us. 'Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behaviour – both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC. We accept more could and should have been done sooner."
