Kirstie Allsopp slams ‘odd’ guidelines for TV presenters amid Martine Croxall BBC drama | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
A couple of Kirstie’s followers queried her claim, with Bergehetzer commenting: “Only ones that are paid for via the taxpayer.”
“Isn’t it because we’re all forced to pay for the BBC, but can choose whether to buy a copy of the Guardian or Times?” added BigBadBob.
“No, ITV & Channel 4 are the same,” Kirstie told both Twitter users, echoing the same sentiment repeatedly to anyone who queried whether it was just the BBC who had such strict impartiality guidelines.
Kirstie’s remarks come after Martine, who is a presenter on BBC News, was taken off air for the comments she made after it was announced Boris Johnson would be pulling out of the Conservative leadership race.
Martine was criticised after saying she was “gleeful” during her introduction to Sunday evening’s edition of The Papers.
