Adam Boulton, a former Sky News presenter, apologises after making comments about former Tory minister Ann Widdecombe soon after she is found murdered. Multiple outlets report that Boulton posted the apology on X on Saturday, describing the remarks as wrong and insensitive. The comments included references to Widdecombe being a “spinster” and an “old maid,” which were made on television shortly after the start of a murder investigation into her death, according to the reports. The coverage also notes that his apology comes in the context of Widdecombe’s killing, with the remarks criticised for their tone while the investigation was underway. Details about the murder investigation and any charges are not included in the provided excerpts, but the articles agree on the core sequence: Widdecombe is found murdered, Boulton later makes the cited personal remarks, and he then issues a public apology on social media.
