Sack him, says the son of Jonathan Ross's latest victim as he makes sick joke about Alzheimer's sufferer.
The family of an 86-year-old Alzheimer's sufferer condemned Jonathan Ross yesterday after he cracked a joke about having sex with her.
The disgraced broadcaster marked his return to his BBC Radio 2 show with the crude gag which immediately revived calls for him to be sacked.
Elderly Francisca Guzman's son expressed deep hurt that his frail mother, who has had dementia for three years, was the butt of Ross's joke.
Jose Maria Moreno said: 'It is offensive. My mother's mental health should not be a subject for comedy and Ross should be sacked.
'What he said is unforgivable and offensive. I don't understand how he can continue working for an organisation like the BBC.'
The remarks came only eight minutes and 35 seconds into Saturday's comeback radio show after Ross's three-month suspension following the Andrew Sachs scandal.
Ross, who earns £6million a year, and his producer Andy Davies were discussing how they had spent their time during the suspension.
Mr Davies, 43, said he had done some bricklaying in the garden of his villa in Spain but kept getting grabbed by a frisky 80-year-old woman.
He said: 'There's a woman in the village who's getting on a bit, keeps trying to kiss me. Older woman, very older woman. She keeps grabbing me.
'Every time I see her now I have to run indoors. She's apparently got a thing for younger men. She must be about 80, I reckon.'
Ross declared: 'Eighty, oh God! I think you should, just for charity. Give her one last night, will you? One last night before the grave. Would it kill you?'
Although Mrs Guzman was not named, she is well known in the Andalusian village of Conchar, near Granada, where Mr Davies has his villa.
