Channel 4 Takes News Anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy Off Air For One Week After He Called MP A C****
20.10.2022 - 15:39 / deadline.com
Channel 4 has sidelined news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy for one week after he was caught on tape describing Tory MP Steve Baker as a “c****” following an interview.
Louisa Compton, Head of News and Current Affairs and Specialist Factual at Channel 4, said in a tweet: “Channel 4 has a strict code of conduct for all its employees, including its programming teams and on-air presenters, and takes any breaches seriously. Following an off-air incident Channel 4 News anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been taken off air for a week.”
Guru-Murthy made the remark, which was not broadcast on television but was later picked up on a livestream, after an interview with Baker, during which he discussed Liz Truss’s government and the chaos that ensued earlier that evening at a crucial Commons vote on the future of fracking in UK.
At the vote, more than 40 Conservative MPs, including former PM Boris Johnson, decided not to back Liz Truss’s government, with members alleging some undecided Tory MPs were “physically manhandled” into the voting booths.
Following the interview, Guru-Murthy, who was off-camera, could be heard saying: “It wasn’t a stupid question, Steve, you know it. I’m very happy to go up against you on Truss any day.”
He is then heard saying to himself: “What a c***”.
Guru-Murthy apologized last night via Twitter, saying the comment was “beneath the standards” he sets for himself.
“After a robust interview with Steve Baker MP, I used a very offensive word in an unguarded moment off air. While it was not broadcast that word in any context is beneath the standards I set myself and I apologize unreservedly. I have reached out to Steve Baker to say sorry,” he tweeted.

James Corden Unbanned from NYC’s Balthazar After He ‘Apologized Profusely,’ Owner Says After Calling Him the ‘Most Abusive Customer’
Zack Sharf James Corden’s ban from the New York City restaurant Balthazar did not last more than 24 hours. Balthazar owner Keith McNally took to Instagram to announce the CBS late night host was no longer banned from the NYC establishment. According to McNally, Corden “apologized profusely” to him after he went public with a story accusing Corden of being “the most abusive customer” at the restaurant. “James Corden just called me and apologized profusely,” McNally wrote on Instagram “Having fucked up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances. So if James Corden lets me host his ‘Late Late Show’ for nine months, I’ll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar. No, of course not. But….anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be banned from anywhere. Especially Balthazar. So Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Corden, Jimmy Corden. All is Forgiven.”
