GMB panellist Narinder Kaur faces furious backlash for saying Kate Middleton has ‘aged so much’
The former Big Brother contestant made the offensive comment on X yesterday as she reposted an article about the Princess of Wales attending Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph.
The 51-year-old, who appears as a commentator on shows including GMB, GB News and Loose Women, wrote: ‘Genuine question – why has Kate aged so much? Isn’t she only 42? Is she a smoker? It’s the only explanation.’
Ms Kaur’s tweet provoked a storm of outrage, with other X users calling the comment ‘dreadful’ and ‘disgusting’.
At first she doubled down, replying to a tweet noting that Kate had been through cancer treatment by saying: ‘My brother had cancer… he didn’t age like that.’
The TV personality has since shared a video in which she admitted the tweet was ‘stupid’ before hitting out at trolls who had sent her ‘sexual, racist [and] violent abuse’.
She said: ‘I thought I’d do a quick video instead of tweet after tweet, because it becomes pretty ridiculous – as if it wasn’t ridiculous enough already.
‘I put out a stupid tweet. That wasn’t my intention, my intention was not to be malicious or nasty or anything.
‘I’m not like that, anybody who knows me. It was stupid to ask about the ageing. I’ve admitted that, I’ve put my hands up and apologised if it caused offence.
