A Channel 4 presenter has been caught on camera calling a government minister a "c***" outside Number 10. Krishnan Guru-Murthy could be heard making the slur at Downing Street to Conservative MP Steve Baker in a clip that was widely shared on social media on Wednesday night (October 19).
The presenter has since apologised after what he described as a 'robust' exchange, with Baker, Minister for Northern Ireland, calling for the veteran broadcaster to be sacked if it's proved he's 'in breach of his code of conduct'.
In a 20-second snippet from the stream, the camera is pointing at a police officer standing guard outside the Prime Minister's home after Suella Braverman resigned as Home Secretary, the Mirror reports.
