ROMAN Kemp’s radio show has been hit with more than 100 Ofcom complaints after it ridiculed a small business live on air.
Capital Breakfast, which also features ex Radio 1 star Chris Stark and This Morning host Sian Welby, has been accused of bullying by angry listeners.

The trio targeted Chocolate Moments over its viral bar of crisps product – essentially a chocolate bar stuffed with crisps.
They questioned the legitimacy of the brand and made disparaging comments such as claiming the website looked like it had been “made by a child” and that it probably operated “out of a garage”.
Owner Maria Antoniou shared an audio clip of the moment along with a video of herself listening along.
She captioned it: “So many have said how triggering the comments, cackling and bullying behaviour is so I’ve added in a warning.
“So keen to hear your thoughts on the utter annihilation of my website, phone number, email…!!!”
One follower commented: “I think you need to apologize to the lady behind the @chocolate_momentsuk who started this incredible small business and the I must say the chocolate is amazing maybe you should try it before you laugh and be horrible. Kindness.”
Another said: “Oh what a shame! Can’t they think that they are totally messing with someone’s livelihood? A business you have put your heart and soul in to, and worked hard at building up, for years. How mean of them. Definitely get in touch.”
A third posted: “Wow!! What a bunch of bullies!! They sound horrible! If they ever do a phone in you should call them and call them out on their behaviour!! How dare they ridicule someone’s business like that!”
Maria then revealed on X that she has had no apology from the radio station, despite the growing number of complaints.
The Sun has contacted a representative for Capital for comment.
