BBC Radio presenter pulled off air after appearing 'drunk' on her last day
BBC Radio Stoke presenter Paula White was taken off the air on Friday after she seemingly went on drunk.
Reports from Radio Today have suggested that White was celebrating her last day on the job with “a couple of drinks”, however, just 30 minutes into her final show she was replaced and listeners were simply told she was feeling unwell.
When she first went on air White said she wanted to "P-A-R-T-Y" and would play any song she wanted to during the show.
One text from a listener said “Paula you sound drunk” to which Paula replied “I’m not drunk, I’ve had a couple of drinks I’m not drunk” followed by a long laugh.
A colleague swiftly announced that she was "not feeling well" and had gone home.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Paula White was unable to continue on-air yesterday as she was under par.
"Fortunately Den Siegertsz was on hand to take over the show and listeners were able to enjoy the usual lively mix of chat and local news.
"We can confirm that this was Paula's last show in the afternoon weekday slot on BBC Radio Stoke."
