"We've gone from the rich diversity of the abbey to a terribly white balcony," she said.
It has led to Ofcom being handed 4,165 complaints since Saturday - the most complained about TV moment so far in 2023. Fellow pundit Myleene Klass – who was sitting next to the star – appeared visibly baffled following the actor's comments.
But the string of complaints far outstrips the 2,250 given to Jeremy Vine's show over a junior doctor pay debate on Channel 5.
