BRITISH TV ROCKED – Debate Explodes as BBC anchor Martine Croxall changes script live on air: “Pr3gnant People” or “Women”? Was she RIGHT or WRONG?
Staggering moment BBC newsreader refuses telecom prompt in trans row
Veteran newsreader Martine Croxall couldn’t hide her disdain as she corrected the teleprompter’s feed.
BBC News presenter refuses to say ‘pregnant people’
BBC presenter Martine Croxall corrected on-air wording during a news broadcast by replacing the term “pregnant people” with “women”.
While reading a segment on heat-related health risks, Croxall appeared to pause before amending the script mid-sentence. She said: “London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has released research which says that nearly 600 heat-related deaths are expected in the UK.
“Malcom Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people… women… and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions.”
The moment, which was broadcast live, gained traction online after clips were shared to social media. Author JK Rowling posted: “I have a new favourite BBC presenter.”

Campaign group Seen in Journalism described it as “good to see accuracy on BBC News,” while gender-critical commentator James Esses said: “The BBC is so utterly enthralled to gender ideology that it took a brave newsreader to correct the teleprompter instruction to say ‘pregnant people’ by instead saying ‘women’ afterwards. Let’s hope she isn’t cancelled for her rebellion.”

Other responses included: “Take a bow Martine Croxall,” “Well done @MartineBBC for standing up for women & girls AND biological science,” and “Give Martine Croxall a pay rise #BBCNews.”

Croxall, who joined BBC News in 2001, has previously drawn attention for her handling of gender-related coverage. In April, she challenged trans activist Heather Herbert during an interview on the Supreme Court’s ruling that the definition of “woman” is based on biological s3x.
During the segment, Herbert said: “I feel like I’m under attack.” Croxall replied: “How is it an attack? It’s a clarification of what the word woman means.”
She added: “The ruling is that woman means biological s3x.”
