Simon Jordan has hit out at talkSPORT colleague Trevor Sinclair following the former Cardiff City star's 'deeply inappropriate' tweet posted about the Queen's death on Thursday.
Sinclair sparked criticism online after suggesting 'black and brown people' shouldn't mourn her death, adding that racism had been 'allowed to thrive' during the course of her 70-year reign.
talkSPORT confirmed last night they were set to launch an investigation, with Sinclair later deleting his Twitter account.

Having already criticised the post on Twitter, Jordan once again hit out at the 49-year-old's comments during his radio show alongside Jim White on Friday morning.
"My first reaction to Trevor's tweet was of great disappointment," he said. "You have a view and I think it's a misguided view. I think it's a view not steeped in any great fact. If you're going to argue that racism was outlawed in the 60s, then you would know society has treated it with great value.
"But to put a tweet out with that content, at that time, was to my mind deeply inappropriate.
"People are allowed to have their views, and there are people that will hold that view and there are people that didn't attach any great value to the monarchy - and they're entitled to that view. I find myself in a very conflicted position because I abhor the view, but I know the man.
"I know Trevor as a person. We've had very robust arguments and debates specifically and explicitly on this subject. And all of those arguments have said we've an agreement to disagree.
"So for Trevor to portray a vantage point, and I'm not an apologist for Trevor Sinclair, he'll have come from a background in his life where he will have been faced with things like 'no blacks, no dogs, no Irish', painted on walls and so on and so forth.
"But to put a tweet up like that at a time when a unique moment has happened in the country, disappointed me greatly."
There have already been calls for Sinclair to lose his post at the radio station, but while disappointed with his colleagues comments, Jordan insisted he didn't feel the former England international deserved to lose his job over the scandal.
"It's not where Trevor Sinclair should want to be," he added. "He's a better man than that. There will be cancel culture now [but] we live in a society where people are allowed to have alternate views and if you start cancelling people be careful what you cancel."
Co-host White then confirmed that Sinclair's tweet was not endorsed by talkSPORT, adding that the broadcaster would continue to investigate the incident.
