A SHOCKING 2002 clip of Chris Moyles offering to take 15-year-old Charlotte Church‘s virginity has exploded online, sparking fierce calls for a BBC investigation.
The then-27-year-old Radio One DJ made the jaw-dropping comment live on air as he marked the teenage singer’s upcoming 16th birthday.
Moyles later defended his words on Charlotte’s Channel 4 show in 2007, claiming it was a ‘sweet’ proposal to ‘lead her through the forest of sexuality.’
Why This Matters
The resurfaced clip raises urgent questions about BBC accountability and safeguarding culture, suggesting past complaints were downplayed and echoing the Scott Mills scandal; a formal probe could restore trust and ensure institutions protect vulnerable minors.
Broadcasting watchdogs condemned Moyles at the time, but the clip’s resurfacing amid the recent Scott Mills scandal has reignited public outrage.
Trending with Charlotte Church
Viewers are now demanding the BBC probe Moyles’ past behaviour, especially given his decade-long tenure at the corporation and current high-profile Radio X show.
One viewer blasted, “This was a really tough watch. She exposed him and no one listened, surely the BBC have got to look into this.”
The scandal threatens to deepen the crisis engulfing the BBC, with Moyles’ reputation hanging by a thread.
