Overview

  • Multiple UK outlets, citing unnamed insiders, report that ITV has begun a formal internal investigation into Good Morning Britain's January Holocaust coverage.
  • The segment, aired on the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz-Birkenau's liberation, referred to "six million" without stating they were Jewish, drawing criticism from the Campaign Against Antisemitism and viewers.
  • Presenter Ranvir Singh apologised on air the next day, and the programme acknowledged the failure to recognise the Jewish community.
  • ITV said the correspondent report and an extended segment in the same programme explicitly referenced Jewish victims and featured survivor Rachel Levy with Holocaust Memorial Trust chief Olivia Marks-Woldman.
  • Sources say the review aims to establish how the mistake occurred and who allowed it to happen, and the network has not provided detailed public comment on the probe.
