“He was banging a drum like Animal from The Muppets'
An award-winning broadcaster has told a court she was devastated by a “completely transphobic” video posted online by an ex-BBC Radio DJ accused of stalking former colleagues and TV star Jeremy Vine.
The former Radio Aire, Minster FM, Hallam FM, Capital, BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio Manchester presenter told Nottingham Crown Court she had only met Belfield in person once, at a theatre in West Yorkshire in around 2010. In April 2018, the court heard, a video was uploaded to YouTube by Belfield days after Ms Hirst gave an interview about her transition to Pink News.
The complainant added: “What has that got to do with me in 2018? I have done nothing wrong – not one single thing wrong. I found some strength to be my true self… and for it I was basically slated, parodied for no reason at all.” “He seems to think that I replaced him. I didn’t. There were two or three other presenters in between and seven or eight years.
Prosecutors allege the 42-year-old caused serious alarm or distress to Channel 5 and BBC Radio 2 presenter Mr Vine, Ms Hirst, BBC Radio Northampton’s Bernie Keith, and five others.
