Richard Park (broadcaster)

Presented by Dani Behr & Jason Bradbury the 90min show broadcast just after 11pm on Friday nights lasted only four weeks, it did not return for a second season.

In 2004 and 2005, Park appeared on London's LBC 97.3 as presenter of their Weekend Breakfast Show and stood-in for Nick Ferrari & James O'Brien on the mid-morning weekday phone-in.

[5] Park appeared in both series of BBC TV's Fame Academy as the "Headmaster", and gained a reputation for both his harsh criticisms of the students, and his long running on-screen feud with presenter Patrick Kielty.

This came to a head during the 2005 series of Comic Relief does Fame Academy, where his scathing remarks about the contestants, who were all appearing solely to raise money for charity, caused them to threaten a walk-out[citation needed].

The BBC eventually received 450 viewer complaints after Park made an offensive hand gesture to host Patrick Kielty on live television during the Saturday evening charity programme.

As the camera cut to co-host Cat Deeley, Park was pictured in the background mouthing the word "wanker" before making the accompanying gesture.
