On 8 November 2008, after coming off air from a weekday afternoon show, Mason was suspended by BBC Radio Bristol following an incident in which she made allegedly racist remarks made in an off-air phone conversation during a weekday afternoon show.
[3] The phone call was illegally recorded by an operator for Streamline Black & White and sent to The Sun.
[4] Mason was previously convicted in 2003 and 2004 of speeding and public order offences, whilst battling alcohol addiction.
[5] Mason is the ex-wife of millionaire business man, Andrew Bush, from Bristol, who was murdered at his home near Marbella on the Costa del Sol by a former girlfriend in April 2014.
She was given a nine-month prison sentence, which was suspended for two years because of her personal problems, the steps she had taken to beat her alcohol addiction and “the realistic prospect of rehabilitation”.
