Scientists had warned against breaking rules after journalist told the Radio Times she planned to ignore the rule of six
The radio and television presenter Victoria Derbyshire has apologised after saying she planned to defy the law on social gatherings to celebrate with her family at Christmas.
London, where Derbyshire lives, is under tier 2 restrictions, meaning the rule of six applies to outdoor settings and people should not mix with members of any other household indoors. People found breaking the rules can be fined by the police.
