2Day FM announcer Mel Greig has no job but co-host Michael Christian back on air A screen-grab taken of 2Day FM DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig during their interview with Channel 7. Mel Greig and boyfriend Steven Pollock walking in North Adelaide in March. IT was the radio prank scandal that caused headlines around the world but, six months on, while one of the two DJs at the centre of the controversy is back on air, former Adelaide woman Mel Greig remains in lockdown and silenced from telling her side of the story. This time last year Greig, now 31, was living the dream - co-hosting a nationally-syndicated evening radio program, living it up in Sydney and enjoying her public profile. But in early December, when the decision was made at 2Day FM - owned by Southern Cross Austereo - to air a prank call made by the DJs to the London hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness, it set off a chain of events that would turn Greig's life into a nightmare. The nurse who put through the call, Jacintha Saldanha, committed suicide days later and the radio station and the announcers in question - Greig and co-host Michael Christian - were met with international condemnation. Now all parties are waiting on an inquest into the death, pushed back to September, before commenting further on the issue. But the silence surrounding Greig's situation is deafening. While Christian returned to the airwaves in early February and now broadcasts each weekday morning in Melbourne on Southern Cross Austereo's FOX FM, Greig is still in lockdown, unable to venture out for fear of questions about her position and emotional state, which close friends say was rocked by Ms Saldanha's death . The Sunday Mail's inquiries to Greig's employer Southern Cross Austereo have yielded a esponse which appears to put the ball firmly back in Greig's court. "We're working with her (Greig) to return at a time that's right for her," a spokeswoman for Southern Cross Austereo said in a brief statement. A release issued by Greig's lawyers Slater & Gordon provided some insight into her state of mind: "Ms Saldanha's suicide was a devastating tragedy and Ms Greig's thoughts have been with the family ever since. She is determined to address any questions surrounding her role in these tragic events as part of the inquest.

Rumours recently surfaced that her ex-boyfriend, SANFL player Chad O'Sullivan, had attempted to sell a story about her to two UK papers - but he insists the exchange went the other way and, like many people, has sympathy for Greig's plight. "I had a few people try and contact me about it from the UK (but) I don't want to say anything," he said. It wasn't for me to comment even though I know Mel quite well and feel a bit sorry for her, really. When Greig returned to Adelaide for her 31st birthday in early March, sources close to the once-bubbly blonde shed some light on the situation, suggesting that she desperately wanted to make contact with Ms Saldanha's family . Mel's wanted to send a condolence letter to the family since this happened. (But) she hasn't been allowed to send it and it really upsets her," a close friend told the Sunday Mail at the time. And a family member, who asked not to be named, suggested it is Southern Cross Austereo management which has been delaying Greig's return to work. "She's still waiting for her work to offer a decent job for her to return to," the person said ahead of Greig's birthday.

"The producers (who were also involved in the prank) and MC (Christian) aren't having much contact with Mel any more and it seems as though everyone has gone back to work as though nothing has happened," the insider told the Sunday Mail. Industry insiders have suggested an eventual return to the Adelaide airwaves is on the cards for Greig but until she reveals all at the September inquest it appears it's business as usual for everyone involved - except her.
