Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls were forced to intervene on Wednesday morning as a guest in the studio called on David Carrick’s fellow inmates to attack him.
The serial rapist and former police officer has been given 36 life sentences and will serve more than 30 years in prison, for crimes spanning almost two decades.
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb, who delivered the verdict this week, said she thought carefully about handing Carrick a whole-life sentence, which would mean he could never be released, but said the threshold was not met.
