I switched on TalkTV on Wednesday morning, expecting to hear Mike Graham on his usual Morning Glory show. Instead, there’s Jeremy Kyle sat in his chair. Thought I’d got the wrong channel for a second. Then I checked Mike Graham’s Twitter and saw the absolute carnage.
Turns out Mike Graham posted something properly racist on Facebook Sunday night, or at least, his account did. Now he’s claiming he got hacked. TalkTV suspended him. Jeremy Kyle’s taken over his show. And where is Mike Graham today? Good question. Nobody seems to know.
Let me tell you what’s actually happened here because it’s been mental.
What Got Posted
Mike Graham shared a photo of a Churchill statue with another photo on his Facebook page (Image: Sunday 20th October 2025, Mike Graham’s Facebook account). The caption read, “Compare and contrast. ‘ Tell me we’re not f***ed by multicultural b***cks. ‘Why are we surrounded by non-white people? Just f*** off…’
Proper vile stuff, that. The sort of thing that leads you to be sacked on the spot. Which is basically what happened.
What was causing people to be suspicious? The Churchill statue image was identical to one Mike Graham had shared on his Mike Graham Twitter account just minutes before. What are the chances a hacker would get that precise photo he’d just shared?
Pretty convenient, isn’t it?
Mike’s Version of Events
Graham wrote on Mike Graham’s Twitter on Monday morning that his Facebook account was hacked. Wrote that the post had included “words that I would never write and an opinion that I don’t share.” He said he deleted it right away and increased his computer security.
He said, essentially, “I’m sorry. I’m ‘mortified’ that it was sent out under my name, and I apologise to ‘anyone this may have offended.’” Fair enough if he genuinely got hacked. But people aren’t buying it. The timing with that Churchill photo? Too suspicious. Plus Graham’s had previous controversies that make people think this might’ve been him.
His History of Controversial Statements
This isn’t Mike Graham’s first rodeo with controversy. The bloke’s been in hot water that many times.
He caused controversy back in 2020 when he referred to Celtic FC as “the paedo’s football club” on Twitter. Proper out of order, that.
In 2021, he had that notorious chat with Cameron Ford, the climate change protester from Insulate Britain. Graham said you could “grow concrete” like you grow trees. The clip went viral. The man got torn to pieces for it. He reaffirmed his statements later on Jeremy Kyle’s show.
In 2022, he falsely asserted that Mind, the mental health charity, was funding legal fees for asylum seekers. Mike Graham TalkTV had to make an official public apology for that.
In 2023 Mike Graham TalkTV was made to pay “substantial damages” to charity Migrants Organise after Graham referred to them as “human traffickers” on his show. That’s defamation and it cost the channel proper money.
So when this racist Facebook post popped up, the default reaction wasn’t “no way, must be a hacker.” It was more like, “Yeah, sounds like something he’d say.”
What TalkTV Did
TalkTV acted fast. By Wednesday, Graham was off air. Jeremy Kyle stepped in to present Morning Glory. The channel confirmed Graham’s “taking a break” from the breakfast show but won’t say when or if he’s coming back.
Some reports say he’s been suspended pending an investigation. Others say he’s been sacked outright. Nobody from TalkTV or Global (the company that owns them) is giving straight answers.
Where is Mike Graham today? He probably sat at home wondering if his career’s finished. And honestly? It might be.
Who Is Mike Graham Anyway?
For those unaware, Mike Graham was born on 9 August 1960 in Hampstead, London. He’s 65 now. His father was a newspaper graphic artist called Archibald, and his mother was Mairi McAleavey. Both Scottish.
He attended the University of Bath but did not graduate. Began journalism in Fleet Street and spent 25 years there. Edited the Scotland Daily Mirror. He also served as assistant editor of the Daily Express. He reported on the Bosnian War in 1992. Lived in New York, 1984-92. Moved to radio in 2006, working for Talk 107 in Scotland. Then TalkSport. Did a show, “The Two Mikes”, with Mike Parry for years. That came to an end in 2019 when they had a falling out.
Since then, he’s been doing solo shows on TalkRadio and Mike Graham Talk TV. His show was Morning Glory and ran on weekday mornings between 6am and 10am, and seemed quite popular with the sort of people who like right-wing shouty opinions about immigrants and wokeness.
Mike Graham Wife and Family
Mike Graham wife is called Koren Corradi. They got married in 2004 after meeting in 1994 at a Boyzone dance tour where she was a dancer. Graham keeps his family pretty private, which is sensible given the stuff he says on air. Can’t imagine his wife’s thrilled about this latest scandal. Having your husband accused of racism on Facebook and losing his job? That’s got to be stressful.
The TalkTV Shambles
This comes at a terrible time for TalkTV. The channel’s been struggling for ages. They stopped linear broadcasts back in summer 2024 and moved to an online-only format. Viewing figures have been awful. Piers Morgan’s show left for YouTube in February 2024.
Graham’s show got moved around loads. Started in the morning slot, got bumped to evenings when Julia Hartley-Brewer took over mornings in November 2023, then came back to mornings. The channel’s been a mess organisationally.
Now one of their main presenters is suspended for alleged racism. That’s not a good look when you’re trying to build an audience and get advertisers on board.
The Public Reaction
Mike Graham Twitter has been buzzing since this occurred. People are either defending him and saying he’s been hacked or tearing him to pieces and saying that’s par for the course with what he believes anyway.
The hacking charge doesn’t stand up too well. That picture of Churchill was the identical one he’d just shared? It is too much of a coincidence. And his history of questionable statements has people thinking this is just who he is.
Some think he posted it intentionally, faced backlash, panicked and then claimed to have been hacked. Others theorise instead that he meant to post it in a private group but accidentally posted it publicly. In any case, it doesn’t look great for him.
What Happens Next
Where is Mike Graham today? Suspended, possibly sacked, career in tatters. Jeremy Kyle’s taken over his show and might keep it permanently.
If Graham really did get hacked, he needs to prove it fast. Show the police report. Get cyber security experts to confirm it. Otherwise, people will assume he’s lying.
If he didn’t get hacked? If that post was genuinely him? Then his career in broadcasting is finished. You can’t come back from that. No channel will touch him. He’ll be done.
I’ve been listening to talk radio for years. Graham was always controversial. Always saying stuff that made you wince a bit. But this? This crosses a line you can’t come back from. TalkTV will probably let him go quietly. Pay him off, make him sign an NDA, and announce he’s “pursuing other opportunities”. That’s how these things usually work.
Or they might just sack him outright if they think he’s lying about the hacking. Depends on what their investigation finds.
Where Is Mike Graham Today – The Real Answer
Where is Mike Graham today? Probably at home with Mike Graham wife Koren, wondering how it all went wrong so fast. His show’s gone. Jeremy Kyle’s in his chair. Mike Graham Twitter mentions are full of people calling him a racist or mocking him.
TalkTV hasn’t said he’s sacked, but they haven’t said he’s coming back either. That silence tells you everything. They’re working out how to dump him without getting sued.
My guess? We won’t see Mike Graham on Mike Graham Talk TV again. The channel can’t risk keeping him. Even if he was hacked, the controversy’s too much. They’ll quietly let him go and move on.
Graham’s 65. He’s probably not getting another presenting job after this. Maybe he writes a book. Maybe he starts a podcast. Maybe he just retires and stays out of the public eye.
Either way, his days as a mainstream broadcaster are over. One Facebook post, hacked or not, ended a 40-year career. That’s how fast it happens now. Whether you think he deserves it depends on whether you believe the hacking claim. I’m not sure I do. But I reckon we’ll never know the full truth.
What we do know is Mike Graham won’t be on your telly or radio anymore. Jeremy Kyle’s got his show. His career’s done. And honestly? After all his previous controversies, maybe that’s not the worst thing.
