ITV boss defends letting Ed Balls interview wife Yvette Cooper – but says it won’t happen again | Politics News
ITV’s chief executive has defended allowing Ed Balls to interview his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, but said it will not happen again.
Dame Carolyn McCall said the broadcaster got “very short notice” that the senior politician would be coming on Good Morning Britain on the day her spouse grilled her about rioting across the UK.
She said the interview on 5 August, which attracted thousands of complaints, was “fair and impartial” but the set up would not be repeated.
