Overview
- Whitehouse and Dr Mine Conkbayir appeared live on BBC Breakfast on Friday to discuss their podcast, I'm ADHD No You're Not.
- During the interview, Whitehouse cut in with lines including "Can I just jump in" and "It's my turn to speak," prompting Conkbayir to reply, "It's not about you, though."
- Conkbayir said she was diagnosed with ADHD at 43 and described the podcast as an effort to push debate on ADHD and highlight how schools often fail neurodivergent children.
- Whitehouse said he had been initially skeptical and noted many comedians he knows identified as ADHD, and when asked if he might have it, he replied, "No, never, there's nothing wrong with me."
- Viewers criticized the exchange on social media, with some calling the segment a "car-crash" and objecting to Whitehouse's comments about ADHD.
