BBC Breakfast viewers criticise ‘preposterous’ question to actress Rakie Ayola

A BBC Breakfast interview raised a few eyebrows across social media after a guest star was left bemused by a question - that some viewers felt ‘should never have been asked’.

Actress Rakie Ayola, who stars in new BBC drama The Pact, was praised for her response to a question from host Victoria Fritz. Speaking to Rakie on the Breakfast sofa, Victoria said of the upcoming series: "There will be some people who see this and will say this is a woke version of a Welsh family."

Rakie rolled her eyes at the comment, to which Victoria continued: “I can see you rolling your eyes. Tell me.” The actress went on to give a rousing response which was applauded by viewers - but many were not happy that the initial comment had been made in the first place, The Mirror reports .
