Ashley Banjo has hailed Diversity’s Bafta nomination at the forthcoming TV awards as “incredible”. Talking about being contacted by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after the performance, Banjo told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I think it’s more significant because of how many parallels that we drew in the conversation. But the TV watchdog dismissed the complaints, concluding that the routine’s “central message was a call for social cohesion and unity”. Gogglebox on Channel 4 is nominated for scenes showing its armchair critics responding to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s coronavirus press conferences. – The TV Baftas will be broadcast as-live on BBC One on the evening of Sunday June 6.
