Danny Baker 'hosts last BBC London show' DJ Danny Baker has said he has hosted his last radio show for BBC London 94.9 after learning his daily programme was being axed.

The presenter hit out repeatedly at the BBC during his two-hour show, in which he called his bosses "weasels".

At the end of his show he said: "That's your lot. We don't want to leave but we're being told to by people we've never met who don't listen to [us]."

The BBC said Baker's show was due to finish at the end of the year.

A spokeswoman said she was not able to confirm whether Thursday's show was indeed the 55-year-old's last. The DJ's agent was also unable to confirm his departure.

A BBC spokeswoman said Baker would not be presenting the show on Friday.

"Danny's decided to take a day off. Gary Crowley will be standing in for him tomorrow," she said.

Baker's dramatic "exit" followed a series of tweets in which he revealed his show had been cancelled.

"Just been told the BBC London Show - the Treehouse - is to be shut down," he tweeted. "Saves BBC money apparently."

Earlier on Thursday, the BBC said Baker would be leaving his afternoon show "at the end of the year" and that he was "still very much part" of the corporation.

"We're currently in discussions with him about options for a weekly programme," its statement continued.

Baker quickly rejected this suggestion, saying he had not heard "a single word" about a new show.
