5:10Now PlayingThis furious caller challenged Eminem to come and perform his "offensive" song in Manchester which included lyrics about the Manchester Arena terror attack.
Denise, who acknowledged LBC's presenter Shelagh Fogarty is Liverpudlian and covered the Hillsborough disaster as a young journalist, pointed out people would take exception if a song was written about it.
"I went to the funeral of the youngest victim Saffie Roussos," she said. Saffie was eight years old when she died in the Manchester Arena terror and her funeral could only be held six weeks later as her mother was so badly injured from the bombing.
She shared that she's been to all the memorials and questioned why the rapper had to reference a recent attack with victims still receiving treatment.
"It was a deliberate attempt to stir up controversy," she said, pointing out that you can make reference to terror attacks as part of freedom of speech, but "to make reference to a particular one is looking for trouble."
