Good Morning Britain fans slam Ranvir Singh for ‘grilling’ Young Sheldon star Zoe Perry about Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet
GOOD Morning Britain fans were left outraged after Young Sheldon actress Zoe Perry was asked about her mum Laura Metcalf's view on the Roseanne Barr scandal.
Viewers slammed presenter Ranvir Singh, 40, for changing the subject from the new Big Bang Theory prequel to the racist tweet debate.
During an interview with Young Sheldon stars Iain Armitage, nine, and Zoe Perry, 33, it was revealed that the latter's mother is Laurie Metcalf, who played the same role of Mary Cooper as her daughter in the Big Bang Theory.
Ranvir then used the subject of Zoe's mum to bring up the TV show Roseanne, which was cancelled by ABC earlier this week.
She said: "It must be an interesting few days for your mum because she was in the now cancelled Roseanne. That is huge news in America.
"How does your mum feel about the show going?"
Another commented: "@GMB cringing through Ranvir grilling poor young Sheldon’s on screen Mum, was uncalled for and off topic."
A third shared: "@GMB #goodmorningbritain Really poor taste and slightly inappropriate, quizzing the guest on #RosanneBarr with the 9yr old present, asking about #RacistRosanne when they are there to talk about #YoungSheldon."
Many viewers felt it was "inappropriate" for Roseanne to have been brought up during an interview involving Iain who plays a young Sheldon Cooper.
The awkward segment came after fans praised Richard Madeley for his hair before ITV producers jokingly gave him a monobrow.
While it doesn't appear that the journalist had altered his hairstyle, it seems his locks caught the attention of those at home in a large way this morning.
One wrote on Twitter: "#gmb Richard has the best hairstyle ever .. as a teen I tried so hard to get flicks like he has that was before I even seen him on tv I just loved the flick look."
