A COMEDIAN's stunning London home has gone on sale for £2.5million - and is set to make a HUGE profit for the cancelled star.

Danny Baker's London home is on sale for £2.5million

He worked as a BBC Radio presenter for many years

He was sacked by the Beeb in 2019 - following a "racist" tweet about the newborn royal baby

During his career, Danny Baker has presented for the likes of BBC Radio London as well as 5 Live.

His seven bedroom home in south east London is currently listed for sale online.

The house's transaction history shows it previously sold for just £70,000 in 1998.

Among other features, it boasts two bathrooms, four reception rooms and a wall garden.

Meanwhile, a note on the listing indicates the price was reduced in September.

Taking to Reddit, commenters noted how Danny had previously referenced the property.

One person wrote: "Believe this is referred to by Baker as 'the house that Dazz built'".

Another noted how the house first "showed up" online a few months ago - and how the star had dropped its price by £200k.

They added: "To shift it he needs to drop it some more. Great gaff. I could be quite happy there."

In 2019, the Beeb dismissed Danny from his position on 5 Live following a "racist" royal baby tweet.

His social media post showed a chimp dressed in clothes with the caption "royal baby leaves hospital".

It was posted hours after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry showed off little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

This led to an immediate backlash from users branding the tweet "racist" owing to Meghan's heritage.

Taking to X, then Twitter, at the time, Danny issued an apology to his followers.

He penned: "Good morning, everyone. Following one of the worst days of my life I just want to formally apologise for the outrage I caused and explain how I got myself into this mess.

Danny Baker's tweet scandal

Longtime radio DJ Danny Baker was sacked by the BBC in 2019.

This followed a tweet referencing the birth of Prince Archie of Sussex - son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Sharing a picture of a chimp dressed in clothes, Danny captioned: "royal baby leaves hospital."

This sparked backlash from social media users, who branded the post "racist" due to Meghan's racial origins.

The BBC dismissed Danny, stating he had showed a "serious error of judgement" over the tweet.

Meanwhile, the DJ later posted an apology to his followers, which read, in part: "I would like to once and for all to apologise to every single person who, quite naturally, took the awful connection at face value.

"I understand that and all of the clamour and opprobrium I have faced since.

"I am not feeling sorry for myself. I f****d up. Badly."

"I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so.
