Television presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell has addressed the situation following the withdrawal of the most recent Have I Got News For You episode from BBC iPlayer after she made an error regarding Labour's digital ID card proposals.

On Friday evening (October 3), the Only Connect host presented the satirical programme, with panellists Sheila Hancock, Miles Jupp, Ian Hislop, and Paul Merton.

During one segment, Victoria asked the teams about who would benefit from Sir Keir Starmer 's decision to introduce the ID system, before telling them: "I was thinking of the company Multiverse, who has been chosen to run the digital ID cards scheme."

She continued by noting that the company was founded by Tony Blair's son Euan, joking: "That's a happy coincidence, isn't it?"
