Frankie Boyle

Statement from Channel Four:


Frankie Boyle is a stand up comedian. He makes several jokes about people, everyone finds him very funny, interesting and loves watching him. Frankie is always testing his boundaries, he likes to experiment with his style by performing his best in his stand up comedy shows. 


Boyle made a joke about Harvey Price where he said  'I have a feeling that Jordan married a cage fighter because she needed someone strong enough to stop Harvey from fucking her'. 


This comment received negative attention from viewers, some of whom complained to Ofcom. The regulator has been critical of Boyle's material but has taken into account the way in which Katie Price has exposed her children to the media.




It has come to my attention that his joke may not of been appropriate for his audience which we have had several complaints and also received one from Jordan price; mother of Harvey prince referring to Harvey and his disability. The Reason why I am righting this is to apologise on Boyle's behalf for any offence caused but he is also allowed to say what he wants to say because he is entitled to freedom of speech.
