Earlier this week, it was revealed that Thatcher had been axed after referring to the mixed-race sportsman as a "golliwog". The incident occurred in the programme's backstage green room.
The corporation has since defended its position after receiving thousands of complaints about the matter.
Sources have now told Media Guardian that Thatcher called the player a "golliwog", "half-golliwog" and "golliwog Frog".
An insider added: "'Golliwog' wasn't the half of it, it is much worse than what has come out."
A representative for Thatcher has insisted that recent newspaper reports about the incident are "uncorroborated".
The 55-year-old, who worked as a roving reporter on the programme, is now believed to be considering writing a "tell-all" article about the matter for the Mail On Sunday this weekend.
