Kate Garraway said the remark was not suitable for breakfast television as Esther Rantzen discussed assisted dying and the bill’s prospects in Parliament.

  • On Wednesday, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway apologized to viewers after Dame Esther Rantzen used the word "crap" during a live interview on the show.
  • Dame Esther was discussing the Assisted Dying Bill, arguing that people suffering from terminal illnesses should have the medical option to end their lives.
  • The Childline founder has spent years campaigning for the bill, claiming that most people in Britain "want and need" the legislation to address suffering.
  • Supporters and opponents of the Assisted Dying Bill have "acknowledged that the legislation will not become law" in the current session of Parliament, with many amendments still undebated.
  • Before Rantzen spoke, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who opposes the measure, appeared on the programme, while Kate later noted she forgave the broadcaster for the inappropriate language.
