Two Australian DJs involved in a prank call that apparently led to a woman taking her own life, have given their first media interviews.

Melanie Greig and Michael Christian said they were "gutted and heartbroken" at the death of Jacintha Saldanhathe, a nurse at the hospital where Britain's Duchess of Cambridge was being treated.
