The BBC has issued an apology after a racial slur was broadcast during its coverage of Sunday’s Bafta Film Awards ceremony, confirming the segment was not edited out prior to transmission. The corporation expressed regret for "any offence caused" following the incident, which involved Tourette campaigner John Davidson.
The offensive language was heard as actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan presented the award for special visual effects at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
