Ofcom will not take action over Adjoa Andoh's 'terribly white' comment on ITV
Entertainment reporter
The Bridgerton star was discussing members of the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the time. Ofcom confirmed on Monday that her remarks were still the watchdog's most complained-about television moment of 2023 so far. The regulator added: "While we understand some viewers had strong feelings about this comment, after careful consideration we have concluded that the comment was a personal observation which was part of a wide-ranging panel discussion which also touched on other diversity-related topics, and which contained a range of viewpoints.
She said King Charles had made a "loving prayer, reflecting his wide embrace of the rich diverse peoples celebrating his coronation" during the service at Westminster Abbey.
