Chris Packham shares Michaela Strachan locked out of Twitter due to David Gray
Chris Packham has appealed to Elon Musk to give his colleague Michaela Strachan access to Twitter again after she was banned.
The Winterwatch star, 61, make a plea to Tesla boss and current Twitter owner after Michaela was ‘unceremoniously dumped’ from the app.
Taking to his own page, Chris posted a snap of his telly co-star with an exaggerated sad face as he asked if the billionaire would “mind” reinstating her access.
It seems Michaela was banned following a post of British singer-songwriter David Gray on BBC ’s Springwatch.
It’s unclear what the clip contained but Twitter’s eagle-eye appears to have disapproved.

Would you mind . . .”
Musk - who has recently lost more money than anyone in history, according to reports that emerged last week – is yet to reply to the plea.

Chris Packham’s plea comes after he revealed he is taking a break from being a TV presenter to try his hand as an animal sculptor.
He exclusively told The Mirror he has cancelled all TV work for three months to create abstract sculptures of birds, snakes and humpback whales.
He insists he is not having a midlife crisis but wants to get "off the treadmill" and feels a bit "burnt out" after decades of being on screen. "I'm not going to buy a Ferrari and run off with a 20-year-old," he laughed.

"I don't want any interference or disruption, I want to get on with it. It will be good to clear my head and focus on something completely different."
Presenters Chris and Michaela Strachan return to anchor the wildlife show from Wild Ken Hill in West Norfolk.
