Chris Moyles has been widely criticised for his on-air rant in which he labelled "most unsigned musicians cr*p".
His outburst came after he was called out for not giving up and coming artists enough airtime on his Radio X morning show.
The DJ, 48, took offence to the comment made on Twitter the day before in which a user criticised his show for not being able to find time to play new music while they could spend a chunk of time to talk about an exercise bike.
