Found this. I think this is what happened.
Miss Scotland Nicola McLean has apologised for calling black singer Samantha Mumba a "monkey" on live radio.
But she insisted the remark made while presenting Friday’s Clyde 1 breakfast show was not racist.
The 22-year-old beauty queen made the remarks during a conversation about possible new judges for the X Factor talent show.
After the Irish actor, singer and model was described as attractive, Ms McLean said she thought she "looked like a monkey".
The current Miss Scotland admitted the remark was foolish but maintained she is not a racist.
"I was trying to be funny and I meant absolutely no harm, nor did I intend to offend anyone by this comment," she added.
"I am not a racist and I do not condone racist behaviour of any kind and wish to apologise to Samantha Mumba and the Radio Clyde listeners personally.
"I am new to this job and have learnt that sometimes flippant remarks can be perceived in a negative manner. There was no malice or premeditated thought here, just a simple mistake and for that I am truly sorry."
Ms McLean, from Ellon, Aberdeenshire, secured a contract to present the show with regular host George Bowie after a guest slot at the Clydebank-based station.
Publicist Ejay McEwan claimed her client has had an exemplary record during her reign and pointed to extensive charity work.

Looks like whatever it is involved a war with the management. they have all apologised and hugged and made up but still no clearer as to what was said...click below for the video from George...
Someone answered this to my question:

I didn't hear it myself but someone told me that it was about one of his quiz questions.
He asked the caller which catchphrase host is getting married. The caller answered Richard Whitley.
Bowie started laughing and said something about having to dig him up.
NOW have heard the whole thing was a big hoax for ratings.

I missed it myself as I had left for work..but the next morning he was still defending his decision to say whatever he said...
Dr Proctor issued a statement that it was George's opinion and not one shared by the station and they apologise on his behalf if anyone was offended.
I later heard that it was something about Gay people being "Hetrophobic"..That they were scared of being straight!!
Don't know if that's the REAL reason..there are soooo many rumours going around that surely SOMEONE heard it an has the truth!

I heard that George made a comment about the parents of Madeleine McCann. Something about them leaving their children alone in the apartment.
