Ofcom is investigating complaints against GB News following controversial remarks by guest Emma Woolf about Dutch athlete Steven Van de Velde, who was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl in 2016. Woolf's comments, likening the rape to a 'holiday romance' and refusing to label Van de Velde a 'child rapist,' have sparked public outrage and accusations of victim-blaming. Van de Velde's participation in the Paris Olympics has also been met with significant backlash, with spectators booing him during matches. Tennis star Martina Navratilova criticized Woolf's comments as 'deplorable,' asserting that representing one's country is an honor, not a right. Ofcom has stated it is assessing the complaints to determine whether a full investigation is warranted.
