## Summary

Kate Garraway was criticised by Good Morning Britain viewers after calling her friend Jonathan Ross “brave” for publicly distancing himself from David Walliams and Russell Brand. The remark came during a heated discussion about Ross’s apology for a joke about Walliams and whether people in their social circles could have been unaware of concerns about their behaviour.

Ross, 65, said he was horrified by allegations against Walliams and Brand and had been genuinely unaware of their conduct; he said he would have refused to make the joke if he had known it referred to real events. Guest Ayesha Hazarika rejected the idea that people around the men could have been unaware, pointing to a 2007 television exchange. Walliams denies allegations of sexual misconduct and any criminal wrongdoing; Brand has been convicted of rape and sentenced to more than ten years in prison, according to the article.
