Shortly after the comments were recorded, the veteran broadcaster apologised to Northern Ireland Minister of State Steve Baker. The off-air journalist could be heard making a comment in the background of another broadcast’s video clip. After a “robust interview,” Guru-Murthy was overheard calling Mr Baker a “c***” in a “unguarded moment,” according to the veteran broadcaster. Since then, the Channel 4 anchor has apologised to Mr Baker. Mr Baker responded to his apology on Twitter, writing, “I appreciate you apologising. Thank you very much.” “Channel 4 has a strict code of conduct for all its employees, including its programming teams and on-air presenters, and takes any breaches seriously,” C4 said in a statement. Channel 4 News anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been suspended for a week following an off-air incident.” Due to a pre-existing week of leave, Guru-Murthy will not return to the screen before November 4th.
