Corporation says that reporter Colin Paterson’s red-carpet question about how well Scott knows Barry Keoghan’s penis was ‘not intended to cause offence’
Almost a week after the Baftas, BBC News has issued a statement defending an uncomfortable red carpet interview with Andrew Scott, which went viral and led to accusations of homophobia.
Last Sunday afternoon, the BBC’s Colin Paterson asked Scott, whose film All of Us Strangers was nominated in multiple categories, for his opinion on fellow Irish actor Barry Keoghan’s naked dance at the end of Saltburn.
