Why did Snoochie Shy leave her DJ role at Radar Radio?
London-based station Radar Radio announced broadcasting was suspended in April 2018.
The decision came following accusations of sexual harassment from a former employee, as well as other allegations of exploitative and abusive practices.
Numerous DJs linked to the station consequently left their roles, including Snoochie Shy who had a breakfast show at the station.
She explained in a now-deleted tweet: “‘I am deeply saddened by the recent news regarding Radar Radio.
“Unfortunately, due to these views being so far removed from my own, this has left me with no choice but to step down as host of the breakfast show.”
What has Snoochie Shy said about appearing on I’m A Celebrity 2021?
Snoochie Shy’s fellow contestants may end up hoping she isn’t called upon to fulfil many Bushtucker Trails or other challenges.
That’s because, by her own admission, she a “scaredy cat”.
Indeed, Snoochie Shy believes she could end up so petrified by what goes down in Gwrych Castle that she might not even be able to scream.
Unfortunately, while there might not be a peep that’s comes out of her mouth when under pressure, something else might appear.
She’s revealed that seeing Jordan North‘s reaction to heights was one she can empathise with.
Snoochie Shy admitted: “I saw him vomit on top of the mountain and I can relate to that as it was very high.”
As well as heights, Snoochie Shy isn’t at all keen on bugs, either. Plus, she’s claustrophobic.
Let’s hope the viewers go easy on her when it comes to the voting for trials, then.
Otherwise, Snoochie Shy has some very specific plans about what she intends to contribute to the group.
She explained about how she sees her role on the show: “I love twerking on a Friday night. I’m going to teach everyone how to do it in the castle!”
Although she lists Jim Carrey and Big Narstie as two celebs she’d love to share time on the show with, she’s previously expressed that Davina McCall would feature in her ultimate girl gang.
Snoochie Shy reasoned in an interview: “She’s a TV legend.”
I’m A Celebrity 2021 starts on Sunday November 21 on ITV at 9pm.
