A presenter on Liverpool radio station Radio City has been fired after being found guilty of drink-driving last week.
Kev Seed was suspended from his afternoon show last week after magistrates in South Ribble, Lancashire fined him £1250 and banned him from driving for 12 months after being found driving over the legal alcohol limit on the M6 two weeks ago. He reportedly had a meeting with the Bauer owned radio station yesterday where he was told he was being fired. It's thought he is trying to appeal the management decision.
A spokesman for the station told RadioToday.co.uk: "We are currently in disciplinary proceedings with Kev, until this process has concluded we are unable to comment".
Seed himself is quoted thus: "I am in a state of total shock. After 11 years I just did not expect this. I can't say much more as the whole thing is in the hands of my lawyers but I hope to be back on air doing what I do best as soon as possible. Now, can someone get me a drink, I've got a few spare minutes before I need to drive home". Well, he said some of that.
