Rear demister interferes with radio

Can anyone tell me why the radio distorts every time I turn on the rear demister? Especially when it’s damp outside?

Attached a copy of 211 bulletin this should give you an understanding as to testing and possible cause.

Thank you for your reply. I am wondering if it is the battery voltage, it is only registering 11.9 volts before the alternator takes over and it then goes up to the usual 14.6 volts. I did open a discussion about the Blind Spot Assist being inoperative a week or so ago and somebody suggested that it is possibly a new battery that is required.
