A Classic Hits 4FM host had to leave his show mid-broadcast on Wednesday after his wife rang to tell him his house had been broken into.

Niall Boylan revealed afterwards that he felt he had been targetted due to the controversial nature of the show, and that nothing had been stolen from the house. He said: "They didn't take anything but just wrecked the place. I always feared something like this would happen because I get threats all the time from some listeners who don't like what I say. I'm talking to Gardaí about it and they are investigating." BreakingNews.ie reports that Boylan was discussing whether a bad upbringing at home was a good excuse for a life of crime when he received the distress call from home, where his wife had come across a broken window and a ransacked house. Boylan left for home, with producer Mike Hogan taking over the broadcast. He went on to say: "I’m just so angry. My wife is traumatised because these scumbags just think they can take and do what they want."
