Former West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair has been taken off air by talkSPORT after he sparked major backlash on Twitter following a tweet he made regarding the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The popular broadcaster says it's investigating the circumstances of the tweet and its timing. The post appeared on social media at 7.38pm, just over an hour after Buckingham Palace announced that Her Majesty had passed away peacefully at Balmoral castle, aged 96.
A talkSPORT statement posted on Twitter read: "Trevor Sinclair will not be on air while we carry out a thorough investigation into the circumstances and timing of his tweet. While we respect the right of Trevor Sinclair to express his opinion on his personal Twitter account, talkSPORT does not endorse the tweet."
