Miriam Margolyes explains This Morning race questions to Andi Peters after ITV edit

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleActor Miriam Margolyes has responded to criticism following an appearance on ITV's This Morning, where she questioned presenter Andi Peters live on air about his racial heritage. Speaking at an event in Southend to promote her new memoir, the 85-year-old actor stated she did not want to embarrass or hurt Peters, explaining that her questions were driven by a fascination with how people view their own identities. During the broadcast, Margolyes mistakenly speculated about Peters' parents' race and used outdated language, leading producers to express concern in the host's earpiece during the live segment. Broadcaster ITV subsequently edited the controversial conversation out of the broadcast before uploading the episode to its catch-up streaming service, ITVX. The incident follows Margolyes' past expression of regret over a similar chat show moment, where she asked the late Friends star Matthew Perry about his alcoholism on The Graham Norton Show.
