Ben Shephard returned to Good Morning Britain on Thursday for the first time since the Oscars fallout. Talk still continues to surround Will Smith and Chris Rock following their altercation at the 94th Academy Awards over the weekend.
The Fresh Prince and Men In Black actor took to the stage and struck comedian Rock across the face after he made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, which appeared to be about her hair loss after previously speaking about her struggles with alopecia. Rock said: "Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2," prompting the actress to roll her eyes.
Smith was soon seen walking up on stage and appeared to hit Rock in the face in front of the star-studded audience at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles where the awards were being held on Sunday night. He then returned to his seat before shouting twice: "Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth," as a flustered Rock tried to resume presenting the best documentary feature category.
