20-year-old Lewis Grewock and 22-year-old Sam Foster made the accusation about Kristina O'Connor during their show on Burn FM.
A friend of Kristina revealed that the DJs may have been influenced by the Manuelgate affair, saying: "They thought they were being really funny and producing cutting-edge comedy.
"I think they might have been inspired by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's infamous remarks on their show, but all they were doing was upsetting people and making outrageous comments for shock value."
Des O'Connor has called the incident "puerile nonsense".
