Carol Thatcher Dropped From One Show After Racist Remarks

The BBC has dropped Carol Thatcher from The One Show she reportedly referred to a tennis player as a ‘golliwog’ in the show green room.

Reports suggest that Carol made the remark in front of show host Adrian Chiles and guest Jo Brand. Someone went on to report the incident to the executive producer and Carol is said to have written a letter of apology to the BBC. However, an announcement was made last night stating that her contract on the show has not been renewed.

A BBC spokesperson said: “We will no longer be working with Carol Thatcher on The One Show.”

Earlier today, Thatcher’s spokesperson said that the leak of a green room conversation represented “a massive breach of trust”, and added: “Carol has given the BBC an apology and as far as we are concerned we have had no apology back over this breach of confidentiality.”
