OHMYGOSSIP — Some of the colleagues of a radio DJ who fat-shamed Tilly Ramsay are said to want him to be sacked.
A staffer working at radio station LBC Radio has called for Steve Allen – who cruelly branded Tilly “a chubby little thing” on the airwaves this week – to “issue an apology at least”, but also claimed some “want him gone”.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “Steve’s outdated and archaic comments have been allowed to continue for far too long and plenty of people want him out.
“There’s free speech and then there is calling a teenage girl fat live on the radio. Plenty of people think it’s time he was given his marching orders because this isn’t the first time he’s made unacceptable comments on air and hasn’t been reprimanded.
“He should issue an apology at the least – but people want him gone.
“He’s bringing the reputation of the station down.”
Former ‘Love Island’ star Amy Hart has also called for Steve to get the boot from the station, after claiming he has branded her “desperate and pointless” on the radio.
She said: “He 100 per cent has to be sacked. He’s called me desperate and pointless, why is he still allowed to be on the radio?”
Former ‘TOWIE’ star Gemma Collins has also hit out at Steve, after he once called her “Gemma the Hut”.
She posted a picture of a cake on her Instagram Stories, and wrote: “Steve Allen join me for some cake hun. And leave the lovely Tilly Ramsay alone. She’s beautiful, the GC has spoken. Kiss my big juicy a** (sic)”
Tilly – who is partnered with pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin on ‘Strictly’ – took to Instagram this week to call Steve out, urging him to remember that “words can hurt”.
She wrote: “I try not to read and listen to comments and negativity however recently being called out on a national radio station by a 67-year-old man is a step too far.
“Steve please feel free voice your opinions however I draw the line at commenting on my appearance.
“It’s such a shame that someone is trying to make such a positive experience negative.
“This isn’t the first and definitely won’t be the last comment made about my appearance and I accept that and I’m learning to accept myself.
“But please remember that words can hurt and at the end of the day I am only 19 and I’m so grateful for all the amazing opportunities I have been able to take part in and I understand that being in the public eye obviously comes with it’s own repercussions and I’ve been aware of this from a young age.
“However, I won’t tolerate people that think it’s okay to publicly comment and scrutinise anyone’s weight and appearance.”
Tilly’s sister Holly Ramsay wrote: “Very well said x #bekind (sic)”
