I was at home with my ten-year old who was off sick. We were listening to the Jeremy Vine discussion show on Radio 2, well, my daughter was listening to me as I talked at the radio.

Jeremy was discussing a play that had caused mayhem in a Birmingham theatre. Demonstrations from some protesters in the Sikh community had caused the play to be withdrawn...

As an aspiring writer, I really felt empathy for the playwright. I know that creative writing is something that doesn't come easy. I also think that you have a choice when it comes to TV and theatre - if you find it offensive, you don't have to watch it.

I texted one of my friends to see what she thought. She said she didn't dare comment. That was all I needed.

Hands shaking, heart beating louder than my voice, I called the radio station. In a daze I found myself persuaded to talk to the producer and then, only God knows how, holding on to talk to the great man himself. Jeremy Vine.

I listened to the other callers and then there was a song. And, all the time, I felt that I would pass out soon if they didn't get on with it.

By the time I got to speak to Jeremy Vine I felt like jelly and was probably just as coherent. I can't even remember what I said, but I do remember feeling proud that I'd had the courage to speak up. It's much easier not to!

My kids think I'm a hero for doing it and I'm glad I did.
