Jonathan Ross is facing fresh criticism today after appearing to joke about sex with an 80-year-old woman on his Radio 2 comeback show.

The broadcaster has returned to work this week after serving a three-month suspension from the BBC for his part in the Manuelgate scandal, which saw him leaving a series of lewd messages on the voicemail of Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.

In Ross's first radio show since the row yesterday, the host's producer Andy Davies told listeners that he had been grabbed by a "frisky" OAP as he worked in the garden of his villa in Spain.

Ross replied: "Eighty, oh God! I think you should, just for charity. Give her one last night, will you? One last night before the grave. Would it kill you?"

Davies's wife Abigail has since confirmed that the woman does exist, explaining: "It's very sad because she has Alzheimer's Disease. She takes a fancy to any man in the street and tries to kiss them."

Ross's comments, which were broadcast shortly after 10.00am, have since been condemned by Tory MP David Davies.

"On Radio 2 you don't expected X-rated references to sex, and especially sex with an 80-year-old, during the day," Mr. Davies explained. "[Ross] should have gone ages ago. There's no way this man should be on the air. He needs to be replaced now."

However, speaking outside his home yesterday evening, Ross insisted that his comments had been misinterpreted.

"I hope no one has been upset by the show," he told the News Of The World. "It was a kind of light-hearted remark about giving her a cuddle. It wasn't 'give her one' - I meant, 'Give her one last cuddle.' You know there was no malice intended. There was no harm intended, OK?"

LOL @ the woman kissing strangers in the street though! hahaha




But yeah the BBC should just get over it. They are stopping everything. Moyles' Rachael refused to take part in a discussion at fear of being sacked last week. Its madness!!!

I don't think there has been any complaints so far
but I bet if there are any, the majority will come from people who have read this and not actually listened

Very true

[JOSHUAH!]

I agree that a line needs to be put under all of this, but I do think Wossy comes a bit too near the knuckle in terms of his show on BBC One. He was really offending towards one female celebrity, but I suppose thats just his character.

I still don't think he deserve the money he gets though.

The Mary Whitehouse bandwagon is growing

Everyone knows JR's jokes are near the bone. If they don't like it, they shouldn't listen.

And, if celebs don't like it, they shouldn't guest on his shows.

Fact.

FACT!

It's the Daily Fail's fault, their audience of sheep have stirred up a sh*tstorm as always and now whenever Jonathon Ross does anything slightly outrageous (Even though this incident was quite tame) he'll be put under the scope. The Rossgate story sold extremely well the newspapers will be looking for any oppurtunity to stir up a new but similar story to sell papers.

The Mary Whitehouse groups want a total ban on anything about sex etc..Ofcom are part of that and are slowly sucking the life out of British TV and Radio!
