Phillip Schofield is facing backlash after a poor choice of wording during an interview on This Morning.
The presenter and his co-host Holly Willoughby welcomed 23-year-old Jessikah Inaba on to the show. The young woman made history last week as the first Black, blind barrister in Britain.
Jessikah completed a five-year course using Braille to read legal texts at The University of Law in London. According to the Bar Standards Board’s Report on diversity at the Bar, just 14.7% of working barristers are from minority ethnic backgrounds. Jessikah’s commitment has been praised by Justice McGowan DBE who called her remarkable.
