_Wow.

He’s urbane, good looking and asks questions other, lesser, men wish they had asked.

it’s only natural that other men are jealous

Jesus fvcking chr1st. 

wtaf

he has sed he is “sorry viewers were upset”

so not sorry. wot an absolute aunt

Indistinguishable from Partridge 

Is it really such a bonkers question?  

Not if you're a massive racist who is blithely unselfaware and brimming with privilege. 

Sound like anyone, Sailo?

I have put my complaint to ofcom - suggest you do the same m8s

You can see the channel ferry 3 point turn going on behind his eyes as a primitive thought bubble slowly rises to the surface. 

Good call from Chimp.

He asked her WHAT?

I can see the slightly odd logic that someone who is in politics here with a Palestinian background may also have links to Palestinian politicians.

sailo giving huge wafts of "...but I always ask brown people where they're really from..."

Mind. Blown.

WTAF?!

This must be taken out of context surely? 

Even aside from the fact that her family are Palestinian Christians, and Hamas is an Islamist movement, that is the most offensive line of questioning ever.   

If he’d asked the same question of a Jewish Mp he would (rightly) not be on tv to make a non-apology.

Do we have any Israeli MP's who still have family there?

This is his worst, but nowhere near first offence like this. Hard to believe he still keeps his job. Do they have mega ratings when he is on or something?

Do you mean Israeli or Jewish sailo?

SHE LOOKED A BIT TAKEN ABACK BY THE QUESTION: I THINK HE’S ONTO SOMETHING!!

I'm still utterly baffled. Did he not know that there are Christians in Palestine? Even if she had been  Muslim, what on earth would link her to Hamas in his mind? Perhaps he just though she looked a bit swarthy. 

jesus, what an idiot. all people with a palestinian background (wherever they live) must have inside links to hamas.   

*Do we have any Israeli* MP's who still have family there?*

Must admit I was (((nervous))) about Googling this one on a work computer, but the Jewish Chronicle has done the work for us (albeit a year ago, so now slightly out of date).

*Jewish, obv.

What?  We know he's an idiot, but what a thing to ask.

Strong "all brown people know each other" vibes

The beeb should be all over this.

"ITV bosses under pressure as host Madeley makes bigoted comment to teccos favourite MP."

Has this doofus been FIRED yet? 

I think she's bemused more than anything else

Intelligent from LM, not amplifying his innuendo by being alarmist, spikes the story. Faod Madeley is a Grade A c unt who should be locked up.
