BBC fans ‘will riot’ if Martine Croxall faces disciplinary action from the BBC as they applauded her controversial actions.
BBC News presenter refuses to say ‘pregnant people
Many BBC fans have feared that newsreader Martine Croxall could have put her job in jeopardy and could have risked facing being sacked after a controversial moment – but they all seem to think she “deserves a medal, not a sacking”.
It comes as the news presenter changed the wording on an autoprompter mid-sentence, while live on air. She paused momentarily, before she replaced the term “pregnant people” with “women”. She said: “London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has released research which says that nearly 600 heat-related deaths are expected in the UK. Malcom Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people… women… and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions.”
