Brazil told fellow host Mike Graham on Alan Brazil’s Sports Breakfast that immigrants don’t store some foods “properly”.

He said this was to blame for the infestation.

But broadcasting regulator Ofcom said he breached rules relating to the broadcast of offensive material.

The ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United star previously said live on air: “Talking about that, I don’t know if I should say this. 

“I was talking to someone the other day and he came down from a part of Glasgow, in fact where my school was.

“And things have changed. Parts of cities have changed. Because different people move in.

An Ofcom spokesperson said: “Our investigation found that a comment made by the presenter during a discussion on food recycling fell short of accepted standards.

“The remarks had the potential to cause offence and weren’t sufficiently put into context.”

A talkSPORT spokesperson said: “We accept Ofcom’s rulings – it’s never our intention to offend listeners. 

“We have taken actions to limit the offence from these comments including deleting the content from the ‘Listen Again’ feature and refreshed our compliance processes.”
