Matt Hancock branded 'a c**t' live on Radio 2 as Sara Cox forced to cut call

Radio presenter Sara Cox was left shocked after a caller on her radio show called Matt Hancock a 'c**t', even though they hadn't been talking about the MP or his stint in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here jungle. The BBC Radio 2 drivetime presenter was forced to apologise after a caller dropped the c-bomb out of nowhere.

Stunned listeners took to social media to praise Sara for the way she handled the shocking incident after she apologised profusely to those who heard the swear word. The unexpected incident happened during the All Requests Friday segment of Sara's drivetime show, which she hosts on weekdays between 4pm and 7pm, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Sara took a call from a listener in Devon and it started off like any other phone-in, with the male caller saying it was a "beautiful" Friday, before Sara, 47, quizzed him on his weekend plans. He told the presenter he was supposed to be going out with his kids but had decided to see the "lads" instead.
