In a statement on Instagram, Brathwaite said she was “never in the running” to present the show Humes is now appearing in.
Author Candice Brathwaite has issued a clarification after reportedly being “dropped” from the role of host in a documentary addressing the high death rate of black women during pregnancy and childbirth in the UK.
After some confusion as to whether Humes had replaced Brathwaite, the author has now clarified that they were in fact working on two different programmes, with Humes’s being commissioned by Channel 4.
She added that her agent had asked the producers if she could co-host with Humes but was told this would not be possible.
