The Australian DJs at the center of they royal hoax call, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, have broken their silence following the death of nurse Jacintha Saldahna. The radio show hosts gave interviews to two Australian TV shows, "Today Tonight" and "A Current Affair."
Both interviews are very similar and highlight the fact that no one could have seen how far the prank call would have gone or how it could have turned out. The hosts say they are shattered, gutted and heart-broken. Greig says the phone call she received telling her of the tragedy was the "worst phone call I've ever had in my life."
Both hosts were visibly upset, both breaking down during the "A Current Affair" interview (see the video of that interview below) and several times reiterating that their main concern is that Saldahna's family receives the love and support they deserve.
Greig opened up about how this has effected her, saying "there’s not a minute that goes by that we don’t think about their family and what they must be going through." She then went on to share that "the thought that we may have played a part in that is gut-wrenching."
In the wake of the the prank call and Saldahna's death, the owner of the radio station, Southern Cross Austereo has announced that it has cancelled the show, the "Hot 30 Countdown" and has put a company-wide ban on prank calls.
