Andi Oliver ‘wants to KILL' I'm A Celeb star after he asked fans if they'd want to ‘s***' 16yr old daughter Miquita
TV chef Andi Oliver has admitted she still wants to kill Chris Moyles - 25 years after his vile treatment of her daughter Miquita. The telly favourite, 62, hasn't forgiven the ex-Radio 1 DJ, 51, after he ran a shocking phone-in asking listeners if they'd 's**g' Miquita — who was just 16 at the time, while he was 26. 6 Andi slammed the I'm A Celeb star's behaviour as 'misogynistic' and said she's never confronted him — but reckons he'd 'backpedal' now like a 'drunk racist' trying to excuse himself. She told The i Paper: "Miquita (who is now 41) was 16 and he had a phone-in on his show of: 'Would you shag her?' On Radio One. "I wanted to kill him. I still kind of do. There aren't many people I loathe who I've never met, but I'd do time for that man. "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." Andi also hit out at the broadcasters Miquita worked for at the time, accusing them of failing to protect her daughter. She claimed there was 'no duty of care' shown to the young presenter, who shot to fame on T4, and believes Miquita was left to navigate the industry with little support. It comes after the singer Charlotte Church also slammed the 'gross' treatment she endured in the spotlight — including disturbing comments from Moyles himself. Charlotte, who shot to fame as a classical singer aged 12, recalled how there was a 'countdown' to her losing her virginity — which the ex-Radio 1 host discussed live on air. Chris Moyles' Radio X show in chaos as he fails to show up in studio after Glastonbury Speaking on the Sink The Pink Pop Tart podcast, the now-38-year-old said: 'Chris Moyles talked about it on Radio One. It was all a bit gross, really.' Back in 2002, when Charlotte turned 16, Moyles – then 28 – told listeners he wanted to 'lead her through the forest of sexuality', a remark the BBC later brushed off as cheeky humour. Charlotte added: 'We've come a certain way, but there's still a long way to go in terms of feminism and equality. "There's bigots everywhere — hopefully we can heal them. Maybe some of them will just have to die out.' 6 6 6 6

Andi Oliver admits she still wants to KILL Chris Moyles after his vile Radio 1 phone-in asking listeners if they'd sleep with her 16-year-old daughter Miquita Oliver - after he also offered to take teen Charlotte Church's virginity
Andi Oliver has admitted that she has not forgiven Chris Moyles and would still like to kill him, 25 years after his horrific treatment of daughter Miquita Oliver. The TV chef, 62, recalled how the DJ, 51, ran a phone-in on his Radio 1 show asking listeners if they'd 's**g' the T4 host who was only 16 at the time, while he was 26. A furious Andi told The i Paper that she has never confronted the DJ, whom she 'loathed' about the incident and that he'd likely 'back peddle' as she compared his misogynistic behaviour to a 'drunk racist'. She said: 'Miquita was 16 and he had a phone-in on his show of: 'Would you shag her?' On Radio One. I wanted to kill him. I still kind of do. There aren't many people I loathe who I've never met, but I'd do time for that man'. Asked about confronting him she said: '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'. Before adding: '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'. Andi also said that she believed her daughter wasn't supported properly by the broadcasters she worked for at such a young age and said there was no duty of care. MailOnline have contacted Chris Moyles' representatives and BBC for comment. It comes after Charlotte Church recalled the 'gross' treatment she suffered as a famous singer after getting a record deal as an opera singer aged 12, as she also hit out at Chris. 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.' '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.' In 2002 Chris claimed on-air that he would take the virginity of Charlotte when she reached 16. He was aged 28 when he made the remark. He told listeners on his afternoon show that he wanted to 'lead her through the forest of sexuality now that she had reached 16'. The BBC claimed at the time the comments made in February were an example of the DJ's cheeky humour. A spokesperson for the BBC told Daily Mail at the time: 'Like all parts of the organisation we adhere to the BBC's Editorial Guidelines and take our duty of care for our audience, contributors and employees very seriously.' An insider told Daily Mail: 'The incident described took place over 19 years ago and under no circumstances would any similar language or behaviour be tolerated at the station in 2021.' At the time, the Broadcasting Standards Commission upheld the complaint of a listener who said Moyles' remarks were inappropriate. The BSC Standards Panel said it noted Moyles was well known for his near-the-knuckle approach 'but took the view that the explicit sexual content and humour had exceeded acceptable boundaries for the time of transmission'. It was not the first time that the controversial DJ had fallen foul of the broadcasting watchdog. Chris was found to have 'exceeded acceptable boundaries' by making offensive comments about an actor's wife on his Radio 1 show in 2000. In his previous job at Capital Radio the BSC upheld a complaint about his 'aggressive and sexually suggestive' comments to a young female caller. In January 2010, when Moyles was earning £500k a year, he made reference to the gay singer Will Young's birthday by singing Young's first hit, Evergreen, in an effeminate voice. He mocked: 'It's my birthday today, gonna wear my new dress tonight. And I smell nice. I've had a shower and I've shaved my legs.' He then gave a rendition of Young's hit Leave Right Now: 'When you saw me years ago you didn't know, but now I'm the gayest fella you probably know. Mmm, I like to wear a silly hat, I get camper by the hour.' Will told The Times: 'It still makes me feel sad in a way, because it did affect how important I felt my sexuality was, and because I didn't stand up for myself. 'So even though I was like, 'Oh, it doesn't matter', it did, actually. It was really bad. Really bad.' In 2006, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry appeared on his show. The American clashed with him after he impersonated what he described as a 'big, fat, black guy from Brooklyn'. An unimpressed Berry asked Moyles: 'Are we having a racist moment here?' That same year, he was censured by Ofcom after referring to some women listeners as 'dirty wh***s'.
