- Bafta winner Wunmi Mosaku expressed profound distress after the BBC failed to censor a racial slur during the Bafta film awards broadcast.
- Mosaku, who received the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in Sinners, stated the incident “really tainted” her celebration at the London ceremony.
- The slur was shouted by Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson while Mosaku's co-stars, Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo, presented an award.
- She criticised Bafta for not ensuring “full protection” for everyone, including Davidson, with whom she “no hard feelings” towards. Mosaku added that “Bafta has a lot of lessons to learn”.
- However, her strongest condemnation was reserved for the BBC's decision to air the slur, something she found unforgivable.
- The BBC has since apologised and its Executive Complaints Unit is conducting a 'fast-tracked investigation' into the broadcast.
