A BBC radio DJ tricked a fellow presenter into reading out a saucy fake birthday message on air . . . to CONNIE LINGUS.

Chris Highton read the note without realising it was packed with rude double-meanings.

Radio Leicester presenter Chris did not even twig when he got to the end and discovered the message was from IVAN R DON.

But stunned listeners did — and rang in to complain. The unnamed DJ responsible for the prank has been given a dressing down by bosses.
