New photo BBC DJ Cerys Matthews admits she refuses to play records by 'over-privileged' pop stars

Social engineering at the BBC is hitting ludicrous new heights.

BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Cerys Matthews has made the astonishing disclosure that she refuses to play records by pop stars she considers over-privileged.

‘You have to try to listen to everything and take into consideration where one person has had more of a leg-up than somebody else, and act on it,’ she says.

‘You must take into account who’s had the leg-ups. Because if you’ve been through the public school system, you’ve had so many leg-ups.

She said: ‘You must take into account who’s had the leg-ups. Because if you’ve been through the public school system, you’ve had so many leg-ups.' Pictured: Radiohead

‘I think it should be more females, but also more people from working-class backgrounds and more people from all walks of life.’

Mumford & Sons, Lily Allen and Florence and the Machine are just some of the acts who could be affected

• Two members of British ­folk-rock band Mumford & Sons attended the £5,560-a-term King’s College School in Wimbledon, south west London


• Florence Welch attended Alleyn’s School in South London 


• James Hillier Blount - also known as James Blunt - went to both Elstree School in Berkshire and the Harrow School in London


• Lily Allen went to Bedales School in Hampshire


• The original members of Genesis were all boarders at Charterhouse School in Surrey


• Pink Floyd's guitarist David Gilmour went to the Perse School in Cambridge and drummer Nick Mason went to Frensham Heights in Surrey

So that rules out the likes of Coldplay, whose lead singer, Chris Martin, went to Sherborne, Radiohead (Abingdon) and the Clash’s Joe Strummer (City of London Freemen’s School).

Unfortunately she needs to police her own playlist. Cerys played the Clash earlier this month. Tsk tsk. 

Cerys is the former singer of Britpop band Catatonia. She joined the BBC in 2008.

The DJ, who went to Ysgol Bro Gwaun, a comprehensive secondary in Fishguard, North Pembrokeshire, said she wanted 'more people from all walks of life' to feature on her show in the future.

A survey from 2010 by The Word magazine found that at least 60 per cent of chart pop artists went to private schools, but 20 years before this figure was just one per cent. 

At the time, the magazine’s editor Mark Ellen said: ‘Once upon a time, the rich weren’t interested in the popular arts. If they dabbled in the performing arts at all, it would be within the highbrow ghettos: opera, ballet, classical theatre.

'In the past ten years, the well-heeled young have decided it would be a jolly hoot to annex popular culture en masse.’

So that rules out the likes of Coldplay (pictured), whose lead singer, Chris Martin, went to Sherborne, Radiohead (Abingdon) and the Clash’s Joe Strummer (City of London Freemen’s School)

Hayden Panettiere
Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
