'The worst insult I've ever had'

Roy Hudd
Roy Hudd: 'Jonathan Ross isn't me at all.' Richard Kendal/BBC

Comedian Roy Hudd tells the Daily Mail how his radio show, The News Huddlines, was axed by the BBC. He was taken to lunch by a BBC executive and told they would like him to be more like Jonathan Ross. "You know, when they take you to lunch it's either the chop or something worse, but that was the worst insult I think I've ever had. Unbelievable, after 26 years of creating the whole thing and the success we had with the show. You have to be your own personality. And Jonathan Ross isn't me at all."
