Baker probe dropped

-

POLICE have dropped an investigat­ion into broadcaste­r Danny Baker over an allegedly racist tweet about the royal baby.

Baker was sacked from BBC Radio 5 Live for tweeting a joke about the Duke and Duchess Of Sussex’s son featuring a picture of a chimpanzee.

His tweet came on the day Harry and Meghan, who is African-American, welcomed their first child, Archie Mountbatte­n-Windsor. Scotland Yard received an allegation in relation to the tweet but confirmed it would take no further action.
