Vanessa Feltz has issued an apology to TV viewers after receiving backlash over 'irresponsible' comments she made on This Morning regarding coeliac disease.

Vanessa, 61, appeared on This Morning on Monday, 18 December and during the show's advice segment a viewer phoned in to ask for advice as their mother-in-law was enforcing a gluten-free Christmas dinner as one guest suffers from coeliac disease.The viewer explained their 15 year old son is a "bit of a fussy eater" and would not eat any of the food provided.

Vanessa asked if she could perhaps bring some food for her son but the caller added that she had been told she couldn't do this, to which Vanessa said: "So she’s treating coeliac disease as if it’s a kind of fatal, potentially fatal peanut allergy." She then argued that it was "completely unreasonable" to expect the house to be completely free of gluten, before adding that "it's not catching".

Viewers at home were less than impressed with Vanessa's comments, with many taking to social media to complain and insist This Morning should provide correct information about coeliac disease Coeliac UK also penned a letter to ITV over Vanessa's comments, saying they were "deeply concerned" about the remarks made on This Morning.
