Actress Miriam Margolyes makes comments during an interview on ITV’s “This Morning” with presenter Andi Peters (alongside Christine Lampard), prompting criticism. Multiple outlets report that the moment is removed from the version of the programme available on ITV’s catch-up service, ITVX.
According to reports, ITV producers respond internally by editing out the segment, with one account describing the material as “uncomfortable,” while another says producers were left “nervous” about the remarks. The controversy centres on remarks that viewers and commentators interpret as racist or offensive, including an exchange about Peters’s accent and a term used in reference to his skin colour.
While outlets agree on the existence of the controversy and the subsequent edit on ITVX, they differ in emphasis. Some focus on viewer reaction and the characterisation of the comments, while others concentrate on ITV’s production response and the specific way the edited version is delivered to audiences on catch-up.
