A wedding DJ has been slammed for filming himself urinating over a man with cancer before posting the tasteless footage online.
Leigh Brookfield was met with outrage after sharing the clip, which appeared to be part of a vile prank in a toilet. The 40-year-old can be seen in the video standing next to the older gentleman, who was telling Mr Brookfield about his prostate problems. The DJ who performs for events around Llanelli, Wales, then says "sorry to hear that" as he deliberately sprays his back with urine. The "abhorrent" clip was posted on social media platform Snapchat, prompting an angry backlash.
He's since publicly apologised for the stunt and deleted his Facebook account. Posting online, Mr Brookfield said: "I'm apologising to you all regarding my actions this evening. I'm deeply sorry for those who I have offended and if I could take it all back I would. It's just something me and the boys do when we are drunk and until watching the video back I didn't realise that the nice gentleman next to me was going through health problems."

He's since deleted his Facebook account following the uproar (WALES NEWS SERVICE)But his apology was blasted by viewers of the video with one woman saying she no longer wanted him to DJ at her engagement party. Another woman said: "It's something you and your mates do when you are drunk? So this isn't the first time you've p**** on someone? Even in this 'apology' you are downplaying and justifying your actions by rationalising what you did. Literally you p*** on a man when he was telling you he has prostrate cancer. It would still be abhorrent event if he didn't have cancer. The fact you've done it before and your friends do it too doesn't make it alright."
Another said: "If this is the norm for him which appears it is as he states about him and the boys.. then he should have given up the drink along with his kiddy friends a long time ago." A third person added: "That poor man complaining about his illness and he's happy taking a p*** on him."
Warning as popular food and drink ‘increase risk of cancer death by up to 30%’
Mr Brookfield had been due to perform on Boxing Day night at the Stamps nightclub in Llanelli but the venue said it cancelled his booking as soon as it learned of the video. Dyfed Powys Police has also been asked to comment.
