A colleague and friend of Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright has accused the BBC of tarnishing his legacy and mistreating the star in the lead up to his death.
Wright, 69, died from a ruptured stomach ulcer in February last year, leaving thousands of fans of the beloved radio personality heartbroken.
His colleague Anthony James, who worked on the music on Steve Wright in the Afternoon and Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs, has said he is unhappy with the BBC's handling of his friend's career - both before and after his death.
In 2022, Wright was axed from the BBC, despite the success of his show being 'through the roof'.
The star admitted to James that he had been told of its cancellation and sworn to secrecy by the corporation nine months beforehand.
