Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

[Jessica Lares]

She read out a text about someone saying she couldn't read and was a poor presenter.

That was very embarrassing, whoever was talking to her at the time took it to offense aswell, you can just hear it.

There is no doubt that Radio 1 are probably getting numerous letters about Kelly being on The Surgery. I don't think she handled the matter in a mature way though, but she could have been getting hundreds of these texts and finally told herself that she needed to mention it and get it over with. I don't think the repeated offensive comments are helping her at all though.

It sounds like things got much more...awkward after I switched off.

Must listen again just to hear her mouth off at that text that critcised her *points finger at UM members*

Imagine if she ever got into this thread, she'd have a hissy fit.

Kelly lets rip

Monkey 05:24pm

Ever had a bad day in the office? Kelly Osbourne has, after a listener texted in to her Sunday night BBC Radio 1 show being not entirely flattering about her presenting skills. "Hold on one second, we have had a text," announced Osbourne on her Sunday Surgery show two nights ago. "It says Kelly Osbourne, learn to read before you go on the radio, you are an absolute disgrace to your education." Oh dear. Osbourne was so upset she told the listener, "how about you eff off?" Steady on girl! "Sorry to any listeners but I am in a bad mood. I just came from hospital [and] I am on the radio, if you don't like it turn your bloody radio off." If it hadn't been quarter to midnight, and she hadn't restrained herself from using the full expletive - surely the first time an Osbourne has ever done this - Monkey might almost have been shocked. But she did manage to stun her colleagues into silence. Let's hope it doesn't dent her chances in the Sony Radio Academy "rising star" award, to be presented for the first time next month. The Sunday Surgery helps listeners with everything from sex to self confidence to exam stress - perhaps next week they could do anger management.

Very big OUCH!

[Chris!]

The surgery was better with Letitia. Kelly Osbourne is just un-listenable and people on here are of course right; all she does is refer to herself.

Sometimes it can be good as pointed out in some earlier posts but other times its like "oh ffs, shut the f**k up. we don't care".

No doubt Kelly will win this award, but for what reasons does she deserve a "rising star" award? Apparently Westwood was good when he covered before, maybe they could bring him in fulltime?

[Mike]

Bring back letitia! Or Jenna G was quite good a couple of weeks back.

More on our Monkey (see below) on Kelly Osbourne's unfortunate Radio 1 outburst when she told a listener to "eff off". Well, he had criticised her education. Anyway, it turns out one person has been in touch with the station to complain - presumably the person she told to "eff off". This is what Radio 1 has to say: "Kelly Osbourne recognised that she had made a mistake after saying 'eff off' and apologised immediately on-air. She also explained that she had just come from hospital. This was a spontaneous reaction from Kelly during a live broadcast. However, the show's executive producer made it clear to Kelly that her reaction to the listener's text was not appropriate. Radio 1 has received only one complaint to date and apologise for any offence caused." 'Nuff said?

I think she only came back to do the surgery so she can tell everyone she's ill!

Roll on this Sunday

[E*F*4L]

anyone know if she is any better yet ?

[KingTutsWWH]

anyone know if she is any better yet ?

Well she's 'off sick' on Sunday...

[Jugalug]

Five minutes in, I'm already asleep.

Thank goodness for the bed, otherwise the emergency tape would have kicked in. She sounds so amateur.

[Jono]

It's embarrassing that she has to ask someone what something says on the text screen

[Jugalug]

"I don't know what to say right now"? Seriously?

[Jono]

I was going to say she sounds a lot better this week but now the Surgery bed is playing over the top of the middle of Robyn's song.

[Jugalug]

Mmm, was just going to mention that. Oh dear.

I miss Letitia. I miss Aled. I miss Westwood.

[Jono]

How unfortunate that a serious caller has been cut off. Oh well, another 1 hour and a half to go...

See what annoys me is that she just went straight to a record, she should have just dished the advice and got the producer to ring her back. Now they've stopped the song.

[Jugalug]

Poor bloke. Don't blame him for hanging up, that's really awful. (If he did hang up).

Sorry, I'm providing running commentary now.

Hmmm, I much prefer it with Dr Mark. He usually does an excellent job of holding it together when Kelly dries up.

[Jono]

I don't know why they stopped him becoming a permanent fixture. He is crucial to the show.

What I don't understand is why they are demanding calls because the texts are down. What happened to e-mail addresses?

[Jugalug]

I'll admit, I've stopped listening now. I have better audio in my CD collection, so that's exactly what I'm listening to.

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

Aw. Come on, she's trying.

[Jugalug]

Yeah and I can hear that, but I'm not the kind of person who will listen to something or watch something just because the person is trying.

I'm not blaming Kelly. I'm blaming Radio 1 for picking somebody based on their celeb status.

[Ian]

Aw. Come on, she's trying.

She's certainly trying. And very too.

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

Awww Georgina!!! She's soooo sweet!!! I love people like that. Awww :( So sad.

[Jono]

Georgina is a very sweet twelve year.

[daniel_jp]

I find it quite amusing listening to her! She has no concept of the nature of the programme - it makes great radio as its funny and sometimes really cringe worthy but just doesnt do what the show sets out to do!!
