00:00 Giles Corrin has removed two tweets from his Twitter page, in which he appeared to mock
00:14 the death of someone.
00:20 The BBC presenter has since found himself at the centre of outrage after his sick posts.
00:29 Twitter Giles, 51, claimed the Twitter user had said vile and hurtful things about his
00:34 relatives before unleashing his reaction.
00:41 The Times radio presenter later removed his initial post before hitting publish on another
00:45 tweet in view of his 224,300 followers.
00:54 Several users took his posts to be about the death of fellow journalist, Don Foster, who
00:59 died suddenly on July 15, aged just 33.
01:07 Don passed away after a long-term illness, confirmed those close to her.
01:11 In a now-deleted tweets, Giles wrote.
01:14 When someone dies who has trolled you on Twitter, saying vile and hurtful things about you and
01:19 your family, is it okay to be like, "I am sorry for the people who loved you, and any
01:24 human death diminishes me, but can you f***** off on to hell now where you belong?"
01:31 Giles' letter went on to add.
01:33 When someone dies who has trolled you on Twitter, saying vile and hurtful things about you and
01:38 your family, is it okay to be like, "I am sorry for the people who loved you, and any
01:43 human death diminishes me, but, hahahahahaha?"
01:47 A screenshot of his deleted post is shared by journalist Ash Surkar.
01:56 She added.
01:57 Don Foster once said Giles Corrin had a famous dad, and he never forgave her for it.
02:06 No wonder it rattled him so much.
02:08 A working-class journalist, who had to fight for every scrap she got, called out the third
02:13 best Corrin.
02:18 Karl Kinsella later tweeted.
02:19 "I've tried to just log off and ignore it, but Giles Corrin openly laughing about the
02:24 death of Don Foster has honestly put me through the wall.
02:31 He won't even lose his job for it, and in a just world, he would lose an awful lot more
02:35 than that."
02:40 While Seamus O'Reilly said, "So glad that rampant cancel culture is definitely actually
02:45 a real thing that exists, because it means we can all look forward to Giles Corrin suffering
02:50 even one tiny consequence for gleefully rejoicing in Don Foster's death."
02:58 Sky's political correspondent Kate McCann shared her thoughts, adding, "I tend not to
03:03 wade into arguments on here.
03:05 We all have better things to do, and I didn't know Don Foster, but some things are just
03:09 too awful to say out loud.
03:15 I don't believe in drowning out opinions I don't like but I don't think we should let
03:18 bad things go either."
03:24 It wasn't okay.
03:25 One social media user called on the Times to sanction Giles, as he writes a food critic
03:30 column for the publication.
03:36 They said, "Hi @thetimes please could you look into the conduct of your employee @GilesCorrin,
03:41 who tweeted the below about the recent death of the journalist Don Foster at the age of
03:45 34.
03:50 I think anyone would agree that this is unacceptable and foul behavior.
03:54 Before a second pen, so tell me @GilesCorrin why did you think it was funny to joke about
03:59 the death of Don Foster?
04:01 Trending Giles Corrin has deleted his sickening tweet in which he laughed his head off at
04:06 the untimely death of a talented journalist aged just 33, who he seems to have hated because
04:11 she had the temerity to point out his inherited privilege.
04:19 But I bet he gets to keep his Times column," said a third.
04:22 The presenter has appeared on screens, fronting BBC programs such as Back in Time for Dinner
04:28 and Amazing Hotels, Life Beyond the Lobby.
04:35 But what's more, he's also been a fan of the late, late, late, late, late, late, late,
04:42 late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late,
04:49 late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late,
04:57 late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late,
05:05 late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late,
05:13 late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late,
