During the tirade, he accused the BBC of showing a “huge lack of respect” and called the individual responsible for not paying him a “moronic div”.

"I'm very, very angry, very, very angry at being put into this position,” he told listeners.

“I can't tell you how furious I am. I haven't been paid since the end of July and no one cares about it. No one's bothered."

He also claimed he had considered not turning up for work today.

Moyles recently signed a new one-year contract to continue presenting the Breakfast show and claimed his not getting paid was due to an administrative error.

The DJ, who has a reputation for being outspoken, took over the high-profile morning slot in 2004 from Sara Cox.
