Resurfaced Clip Shows DJ Chris Moyles Admitting To Offering To Take Charlotte Church’s Virginity When She Was 15
The BBC is facing renewed calls to investigate Chris Moyles after a clip from 2007 resurfaced online, showing him admitting to offering to take Charlotte Church’s virginity when she was 15. Moyles would have been 27/28 at the time.
Church turned 16 in 2002, and 5 years later, called out Moyles to his face during an interview:

Yikes. Imagine this exact conversation happening in 2026? Moyles would be cancelled so fast his head would spin. Now obviously 2002 was a different time, but I don’t remember it being so different that a big time radio DJ could offer to take the virginity of a 15-year-old opera singer and get away with it?
Then again, I’m pretty sure there was one outlet at the time (The Sun?) who ran a countdown clock to the moment Charlotte Church turned 16, so maybe it was another world back then after all.
At the time, the BBC defended the remarks as an example of Moyles’ “cheeky” and “irreverent” humour that was “not meant to be taken seriously.”
No doubt Moyles will be mortified by this clip doing the rounds again in 2026, but does it really warrant further investigation? I mean, he doesn’t work for the BBC anymore, so it’s not like they can sack him, is it?
A spokesperson has stated that Moyles has not worked for the BBC for over 14 years and emphasised that “no circumstances in which similar language or behaviour would be tolerated by the BBC today”. Well, unless they’re able to keep it quiet, of course.
For the time Will Young accused Chris Moyles of being homophobic towards him, click HERE.
