Radio DJ Pat Sharp, 61, has been sacked from his radio gig following a joke he made about a woman’s boobs.
Pat, who rocketed to fame after starring in the hit nineties TV show Fun House, was sacked from his presenting job on Wednesday (March 8) after he reduced a woman to tears following a harsh joke.
The Greatest Hits Radio presenter had given the event company boss Lizzy Eaton a T-shirt with his face and iconic 90s mullet, which included the words: “That’s the only way I’ll get on your t**s today.”

Pat admitted that his contract was due to expire at the end of March and that he would “not return to the station with immediate effect”.
Following the crude quip, an embarrassed Lizzy tossed the top at him and stormed out of the ceremony in floods of tears.
She then told her followers online: “Yesterday I was publicly humiliated, in a sexual nature, by the celebrity host of an industry event, on stage in front of 400 of my colleagues and peers.
“Afterwards, I was in complete shock and hadn’t really processed what had happened. Today I am struggling with it – I feel sad, dirty and, frankly, violated.
“I have worked incredibly hard to earn my reputation and hopefully be an inspiration to other young women in the events industry."
She added: “Yesterday, however, I was belittled, sexualised and objectified in front of hundreds of people I respect.”
Lizzie is reportedly set to “take action” against the radio DJ following the comments made at the Conference News Agency Awards in Central London.
Following the incident, Fun House’s Pat issued an apology and expressed that he was “truly sorry” to Lizzie and to anyone else who was “offended” by the crude quip.
He admitted: “Last Friday, I made a joke on stage which was not well received.
“I upset one individual in particular, and for that, I am truly sorry.
“I apologised at the event to anyone who was offended and I have apologised to the individual personally, too.”
Since February 2019, Pat has presented a radio show on Greatest Hits Radio.
