Actor apologises for falsely suggesting politician Philip Proudfoot had ‘Jew block list’ on Twitter
The actor Tracy-Ann Oberman has apologised and paid “substantial damages” to a politician and academic who she falsely accused of antisemitism.
Oberman, whose credits include EastEnders, Friday Night Dinner, It’s A Sin and Ridley Road and who appeared on Celebrity Bake-Off last week, tweeted that Dr Philip Proudfoot, the founder of the Northern Independence party (NIP), had a “Jew block list”.
