Hapless radio hack confuses JT for IT

By Axegrinder axeblog

Even if you only look at the pictures, it’s always worth flicking through Heat magazine, as a rather red-faced newsreader at Capital Radio has discovered.

Obviously caught up in the excitement of a story, he managed to ask pop prince Justin “trouser snake” Timberlake ‒visiting the studio for an interview ‒if the printer was working.

Said newsreader had mistaken him for IT support.

Axe can see how the mistake was made, as our IT department is brimming full of easy-on-the-eye, tanned, tattoo-covered young men in designer clobber flashing a watch worth more than Paul Dacre’s annual salary.
