ITV will not be launching an investigation into Good Morning Britain despite sparking outrage with a Holocaust blunder, it has been confirmed. 

On Monday, The Sun reported that the network were investigating the daytime show after viewers were left appalled by a ‘humiliating blunder too big to ignore’.

But now, DailyMail can confirm that there is ‘no investigation or probe underway’.

An ITV Spokesperson said: ‘At the time of this incident in January, we apologised on air for this error and consider the matter closed.’ 

Back in January, Good Morning Britain sparked outrage during its coverage of the 80th anniversary of Holocaust Memorial Day – 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.

Ranvir Singh apologised for making the ‘baffling’ mistake during the ITV show’s coverage of the 80th anniversary of Holocaust Memorial Day in January

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’.

At the time, 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 at the time, 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.’

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
