ITV launches formal investigation into Good Morning Britain after viewers appalled by 'humiliating blunder too big to ignore'
The popular daytime show covered the 80th anniversary of Holocaust Memorial Day back in January - but failed to say its victims were Jewish.
The event commemorates the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp, by the Soviet Red Army in 1945.
During a segment reporting on King Charles 's visit to the camp, anchor Ranvir Singh listed several groups who were murdered at the camp, but did not include Jews - who suffered the most deaths.
The presenter said: 'Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because they were Polish, disabled, gay or belonged to another ethnic group.'
The segment sparked outrage, with both ITV and Singh apologising for the 'mistake'.
But now, insiders are claiming that bosses have launched a fresh probe into how it happened, according to The Sun.
A source told the publication: 'Good Morning Britain is a flagship programme for ITV and to allow a blunder like this was too big to simply ignore.'
They continued: 'ITV pride themselves on their news coverage but this was lower than sub par.
'Fingers of blame have been pointed but now the probe will uncover who allowed it to happen and there will be consequences.'
DailyMail has contacted ITV for comment.
It comes after the Campaign Against Antisemitism shared the footage on X and accused Ms Singh of 'dire reporting'.
'Jews. The word you're looking for is 'Jews', not 'people'. This truly beggars belief,' the group said.
'This dire reporting is not only factually incorrect but erases Jews from a genocide in which six million Jewish men, women and children were slaughtered specifically because they were Jews.'
The CAA said that during the whole two-minute segment on Holocaust Memorial Day, which included a piece to camera from GMB correspondent Nick Dixon live from Auschwitz, there was only one mention of Jews.
They accepted that the segment mentioned history students taking a tour of the Jewish quarter of Kraków but said it failed to mention the word 'antisemitism'.
Issuing an apology today, Ms Singh said: 'In yesterday's news, when we reported on the memorial events in Auschwitz, we said six million people were killed in the Holocaust but crucially failed to say they were Jewish.
'That was our mistake, which we apologise for.'
More than a million people were murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Most of them were Jews, while others were Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, Roma and members of other persecuted groups.
King Charles shed a tear during the Memorial Day as he listened to stories from Holocaust survivors during his visit to Auschwitz - the first for a British head of state.
He said in an address: 'It is a moment when we recall the depths to which humanity can sink when evil is allowed to flourish, ignored for too long by the world.
'In a world that remains full of turmoil and strife, and has witnessed the dangerous re-emergence of antisemitism, there can be no more important message – especially as the United Kingdom holds the Presidency of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
As the number of Holocaust survivors regrettably diminishes with the passage of time, the responsibility of remembrance rests far heavier on our shoulders, and on those of generations yet unborn.
'The act of remembering the evils of the past remains a vital task and in so doing, we inform our present and shape our future.'

Buchenwald can refuse entry to people wearing Palestinian keffiyeh, German court rules
A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf. The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh. According to local media reports, the woman was turned away when she attempted to attend a commemorative event marking the 80th anniversary of the camp's liberation in April while wearing the scarf. She then petitioned the courts to allow her to return to the memorial for another commemorative event this week while wearing a keffiyeh. The court found that the memorial was within its rights to deny her entry, pointing to the woman's declared aim of 'sending a political message against what she saw as the [memorial's] one-sided support for the policies of the Israeli government'. 'It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,' the court said. The court said the woman's right to freedom of expression was outweighed in this case by the memorial's 'interest in upholding the purpose of the institution'. Germany, still trying to atone for the murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, has been one of Israel's staunchest allies. Sign up to Headlines Europe A digest of the morning's main headlines from the Europe edition emailed direct to you every week day after newsletter promotion However, in recent months it has sharpened its criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, with the chancellor, Friedrich Merz, announcing this month that no more licences would be granted for arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza. The Buchenwald memorial faced criticism last month when an internal document was leaked that described the keffiyeh as 'closely associated with efforts to destroy the state of Israel'. The director of the memorial, Jens-Christian Wagner, said subsequently that the document contained 'mistakes' and would have to be reworked. On the question of the keffiyeh, he told the NDR broadcaster last month that it was not per se 'a forbidden symbol' at the memorial. 'However, when it is used together with other symbols … to relativise Nazi crimes, then we would ask people to remove those symbols,' he said. About 340,000 prisoners, including Jews, Roma, homosexuals and Soviet prisoners of war, passed through Buchenwald and its annexe Mittelbau-Dora, both located near the German city of Weimar. About 56,000 people lost their lives at Buchenwald – some executed, others starved or worked to death – and a further 20,000 died in Mittelbau-Dora, where inmates worked on the Nazis' V1 and V2 rockets.

Sun, sea and struggle: growing up in England's coastal towns
As a teenager, the Today in Focus presenter Helen Pidd could not wait to leave her home town on the Lancashire coast. But today she looks back with fondness at her time spent at the fairground or misbehaving on the beachfront, and watching bands at the local music venue. She returned this summer to find out what life was like for young people today – and found things were not as she remembered. All of her old haunts had shut down and young people spoke about a town in which they had nothing to do. Eleanor Adamson, a 22-year-old carer, describes how hard it has been to forge her own path in life in Morecambe. Impoverished coastal towns have lower life expectancy and worse educational outcomes than elsewhere. Students at Helen's former school say they feel 'disregarded' by successive governments that have left seaside towns to decay. Reform UK politicians see an opportunity in towns like Morecambe. But do they have any solutions? Helen speaks to local Reform and Labour councillors about what policies they have for young people in Morecambe. 'Our coastline is littered with lost opportunities and left behind communities. Other countries celebrate and invest in their seaside. It's about time we did, too,' she says.

HUGO DUNCAN: The genie has burst out of the bottle - and it's all too clear who is to blame
The chickens are coming home to roost. When Rachel Reeves broke the Labour election pledge not to raise national insurance, she was warned the £25 billion tax raid on business would push up prices and cost jobs. She did it anyway. Official figures last week showed that 206,000 jobs have been lost since the election. Now we have inflation roaring back as companies push up prices to deal with the extra costs they face as a result of the Chancellor's growth-sapping, job-destroying policies. Ms Reeves used to boast that Britain was the fastest-growing economy in the G7. Not any more. But at 3.8 per cent, we do have the highest inflation rate of the seven major developed economies. In September last year, ahead of the Budget, it was 1.7 per cent. The Left-leaning Resolution Foundation says that UK inflation 'looks increasingly like an international outlier'. The bond markets are watching – and don't like what they see. Not only is the inflation genie bursting back out of the bottle, and the economy floundering, but our national debt is soaring and, in abandoning welfare cuts, Labour has shown it has no plan to bring the public finances back under control. As a result, Britain faces the steepest borrowing costs in the G7, with the 30-year bond yield at its highest level since 1998. That means the United Kingdom Government pays more to borrow on the international money markets than the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Canada. In other words, lending to Britain is seen as a riskier bet than lending to any of these other countries. The spike in inflation will not help as a large portion of UK Government debt is index-linked – meaning payments rise as inflation goes up. There are very real consequences for families across the country. Inflation is a menace that eats into the income of workers and pensioners alike, devastating living standards along the way. Yes, average prices may have been pushed a little higher by the 'Oasis effect' as fans paid through the nose for hotel rooms around concert venues. But this is also about parents struggling to pay for school uniforms, families putting the weekly supermarket shop on the credit card to make sure they have enough money to pay household bills, and then worrying about how they'll pay for Christmas after pushing the boat out on even a modest summer holiday. Rail fares – which are linked to inflation – now look set to rise by 5.8 per cent next year. There is also the prospect of energy bills rising again at the start of October – little over a month away – just in time for winter. It might seem a long way off, but it will come round soon enough for those feeling the pinch. Another Reeves boast is that interest rates have come down five times since Labour came to office, from an annual rate of 5.25 per cent to four per cent. But while she seeks to take credit for this, how much lower might interest rates now be had the Chancellor not driven up prices with her inflationary rises in national insurance and the minimum wage? With inflation nearly double the Bank of England's two per cent target, hopes of a further interest rate cut this year are fading fast. Instead, families and businesses are braced for another punishing round of tax rises in the autumn. The squeeze has only just begun.
