A complaint about breaching a man's privacy on radio has been upheld by the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
The Breeze ran a competition where listeners were invited to nominate someone they felt deserved a shopping spree.
The radio hosts spoke to a woman on air about the friend she nominated. She explained why her friend was deserving of the prize by saying she had left a "potentially abusive relationship".
The authority upheld a complaint from the friend's husband as the broadcast breached his privacy. They found that he was recognisable by a combination of identifying features told over the broadcast and readily available information outside of the broadcast.
The report stated that it "considered the allegations of a potentially abusive relationship and other intimate details of the relationship were highly sensitive and personal, and clearly carried the quality of private information".
