Danny Baker fired by BBC over ‘offensive’ royal baby ape tweet
Other broadcasters show support for Baker’s sacking over post about royal baby, Archie
The broadcaster Danny Baker has been fired by BBC Radio 5 Live following allegations of racism over a tweet about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s newborn son, Archie, that featured a picture of a chimpanzee.
The tweet, which has since been deleted by Baker, showed a black and white photo of a well-dressed couple next to a suited chimpanzee with the caption: “Royal baby leaves hospital.”
