@prodnose
Just got fired from @bbc5live.
For the record - it was red sauce. Always.

The now deleted tweet, which has been circulated on social media, showed an image of a couple holding hands with a chimpanzee dressed in clothes with the caption: "Royal Baby leaves hospital".

The 5 Live presenter was accused of mocking the duchess's racial heritage.

A BBC spokesperson said: "This was a serious error of judgement."

The 61-year-old presented a weekend show on the network.

The corporation added Baker's tweet "goes against the values we as a station aim to embody.

3. He says they "Literally threw me under the bus."

I'd fire a BBC broadcaster just for not knowing the meaning of the word "literally."
