    During Tuesday morning’s BBC Radio Lancashire’s breakfast show, Graham faced backlash for his coverage of this year’s new The Apprentice line-up after he asked listeners to call in and give their opinions.
    The 42-year-old was keen to hear from people who had already appeared on mainstream television from Lancashire after businessman Paul Bowen was revealed as one of the 18 contestants heading into Lord Alan Sugar’s boardroom next month.
    While the BBC presenter listened to many good callers, one listener phoned in and put through a strongly worded complaint. 
    Graham posted a recording of the rant he read out on the BBC Radio show onto his X(Twitter) account.

    Reading out loud, Graham said: “You’re getting boring, and your producer can’t think of anything fresh. 
    “Also, the guy from Chorley isn’t the first person from Lancashire to go on The Apprentice, a guy called Adam went on it in the late 90s.
    “If you need to do more research, rather than talking about what you’ve been up to at the weekend or what you’re doing in the next few days. Rant over, thanks, stop being so camp.”
    As he stopped reading the snide complaint, he cheekily replied: “Oh, you b****h!”

    In the background, cries of laughter can be heard before Graham started chuckling and added: “I don’t know what you mean?”
    Fans quickly reacted to the post and defended the radio host, admitting that it made them chuckle. 
    One user tweeted: “Good grief!! Why on earth do they bother to listen, then?
    “If they don’t want authentic humour mixed with current local and national news, then they need to turn that dial.
    “I, for one, am looking forward to you waking me up tomorrow at 6am with THE best breakfast show around.”
    Another joked: “As a fellow radio presenter, is it now fair game to say the B word now it’s been said on the BBC? This made my morning! Haha.”
    A third added: “Oh dear, this listener just doesn’t get our dysfunctional family, do they? And that’s why we love you because it’s not normal boring stuff.”
    A fourth chimed: “Brilliant response. Love it.”

    Last year, Graham left fans open-mouthed as he participated in the World Gravy Wrestling Championships in Lancashire.

    Love Island’s Tom Clare drops ‘hint’ he’s returning to show after being ‘in talks’ for All Stars

    The couple split just a month later, insisting they wanted to ‘focus on their own careers’.
    Tom returned to his day job as a footballer for Macclesfield FC soon after his stint on the show, but now it appears he could be set to try his luck on Love Island again.
    The sportsman has shared a topless mirror selfie on Instagram with the cryptic caption: “We back.”
    He has added a fist pump emoji for good measure and it has left fans wondering if it means he is going “back” to Love Island.

    It comes after the Mail Online said Tom had been ‘in talks’ with All Stars bosses.
    If Tom does return to the villa, it will be a massive U-turn for him.
    Last summer, following his split with Samie, he declared he was “done” with Love Island.
    Tom moved in with his co-star Casey O’Gorman and said he was putting his stint on the show behind him.

    In an exclusive interview with The Sun last June, Tom said he would not consider a return to the show in the future.
    Tom told us: “No, It’s not for me that.
    “It’s a once in a lifetime experience and I think if I went back in, I don’t know how it would work.
    “It’s just not for me, I’ve done it now, best thing I’ve ever done, so I want to keep it that way. I wouldn’t want to go back in and ruin it.”
    Reinforcing his point, he added: “Yeah it’s not for me.”
    Tom and Samie confirmed their split in April last year, just one month after the winter Love Island final.
    A source at the time said: “Samie and Tom have sadly decided to call it a day. There is a lot of love and respect there but it just wasn’t going anywhere.
    “The distance between them was too much and they are both really focused on their careers post Love Island.”

    Stephen Bear’s ex Jessica Smith admits she’s ‘stressed’ after shamed star leaves prison

    STEPHEN Bear’s ex Jessica Smith admitted she was “stressed” ahead of the shamed star leaving prison today.The disgraced TV personality was convicted of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films after uploading X-rated videos of Georgia Harrison to OnlyFans in 2020.

    Bear, 33, has served 11 months out of the 21 he was sentenced to for the twisted revenge porn act.
    Jessica – who split from her former fiancé during his jail time – appears to have moved on with her new boyfriend Danny, though.
    In her latest Instagram Story, she posted a photo of a stuffed toy alongside some glasses of white wine.
    The OnlyFans model wrote in her caption, “When he buys u a jelly cat cos ur stressed, ily x. Everyone meet katrina x.”
    read more on Stephen Bear
    Bear’s release today came two days after the convicted criminal’s 34th birthday.
    During his time in prison, Bear was earning less than a fiver a week after getting a job packaging tea and coffee for fellow inmates at HMP Chelmsford.
    Then, Bear was transferred to HMP Brixton, a Category C prison, where he was earning £8 a week working in the prison gym.
    It was expected his freedom would be granted halfway through the sentence and now the shamed star has confirmed his exact release date.
    Most read in Showbiz
    In a message from Bear’s official X account, someone who appeared to be writing on behalf of the inmate wrote: “I will be leaving Brixton prison on the 17th January.”
    “Can’t wait to get my life back on track. Who’s excited to see me?” he added including a bizarre poll.
    People were given the option to chose between “I can’t wait to see you” or “I’d rather watch paint dry” – so far there have been over 8,500 votes.
    A source told The Sun: “Stephen has served his time – and he’s due out of prison in the next few weeks.
    “However, he’s been telling pals he’s not the same man that went into prison.
    “There will be no hopping back on to social media or rolling straight back into the nearest nightclub when he gets out, he says he just wants to get back to east London and his family.
    “Obviously time will tell if he has changed his ways.”
    Jessica had previously vowed to wait for him on the outside, after showing support on the court steps throughout the trial.
    However, she dumped him in September and Bear is said to have “cried for days”, begging for her back.
    Just days ahead of her ex-boyfriend’s release, Jessica was spotted enjoying a romantic date with another love interest named Josh.
    Bear’s conviction came after he secretly filmed himself and Georgia having consensual sex on CCTV and raked in least £40,000 after uploading it on the adult site.
    Georgia bravely waived her right to anonymity during the trial to reveal the trauma she went through and raise awareness for other women.
    The Love Island star took to social media after it was revealed her sicko ex was set to be released from prison.
    “Dear universe … thank you for everything,” she penned in a reflective post.
    “Thank you for the blessings , thank you for the lessons, thank you for the mistakes that weren’t really mistakes.
    “Thank you for the friends that became angels, thank you for the tears watering the seeds of new beginnings and thank you for the law of attraction…”
    In her latest venture, the reality TV icon has signed up to appear in the new Love Island All Stars.
    READ MORE SUN STORIES
    Meanwhile, earlier this year Georgia told The Sun she wanted to stand as an MP and said: “I had serious conversations with a couple of Labour MPs about if I could run for Essex, and they said it would be possible.”
    It’s not known how Bear will make a living once he’s released and his £500,000 Essex pad was sold last summer to pay off debts.
