Good Morning Britain host Adil Ray recently received backlash for his comments about professional darts player Luke Littler. During a segment on the popular ITV breakfast show, Adil expressed concern for the 17-year-old's health, stating that he had "the look of a darts player" and admitting that he would be worried if he were Luke's parent.
Adil's co-host Kate Garraway gently reminded him that it's normal for teenagers to enjoy pizza and joked that he should bring a salad to the darts competition if he's that worried. Adil saw the humor in her suggestion and the hosts quickly moved on from the topic. However, viewers were not as quick to forget Adil's comments and took to social media to express their disapproval.
Some viewers were disgusted by Adil's "fat-shaming" of Luke, with one user tweeting, "Disgusted with Adil Ray fat-shaming a 17-year-old on #gmb this morning!" Others called for Ofcom to investigate the matter and for Adil to publicly apologize to Luke.
Despite the backlash, Luke and his family have yet to respond to the comments. The young darts player, also known as "The Nuke," has had a quick rise to fame and is currently competing in the semi-finals at Alexandra Palace.
While Adil's comments caused controversy, it is clear that he holds no ill will towards Luke and even expressed his admiration for the young player. It is important to remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but we should also be mindful of how our words may affect others.
