A social media video featuring the DJ promoting his new book, with co-author Chris Smith, has been deleted after facing criticism from disability charities.
Radio 1 DJ Greg James has apologised after being called out for negative representations of disability in a video to promote his latest children's book. James and co-author Chris Smith, who write the popular Kid Normal series together, appeared in a now-removed promotional video for a new version of Roald Dahl's famous book The Twits on Friday. In the clip, the pair can be seen looking over the shoulders of illustrator Emily Jones as she works on their yet-to-be-revealed lead characters.
' The 38-year-old DJ added that he and Smith had been 'attempting to pay homage to one of the Twit's most famous pranks involving a glass of beer in order to remind people of Dahl's infamous terrible two'. 'It's in no way a suggestion that this forms any part of the plot of the new story nor was it our intention to suggest that it was in any way disgusting,' he wrote. 'It's unfortunate that the word disgusting appears to be a direct comment on that.
