A radio presenter shocked listeners by reading a message calling Tony Blair a tosser live on air.

Jane Garvey read out the text message, from an anonymous listener upset with the Prime Minister, on her BBC Radio Five Live show on Thursday.

She read the comment at just before 7pm on her Drive Time slot to the surprise of co-host Peter Allen.

"You have just gone and blown it," he told her afterwards. "It's hardly late enough to use words like that, Miss Garvey."
