Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes has sparked more than 240 complaints after saying she wanted Boris Johnson “to die” from coronavirus.
The actress, 78, told The Last Leg that the Government’s handling of the pandemic has been a “disgrace” and a “public scandal”.
Her comments to the Channel 4 show, on Friday, have resulted in 241 complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom. An Ofcom spokeswoman told the PA news agency: “We are assessing the complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.” Margolyes had told the show she “had difficulty not wanting Boris Johnson to die”.
