Comedian Gina Yashere has criticized Andi Peters for his response to Miriam Margolyes using a racially insensitive term during a live interview on the British television show This Morning. Margolyes, 85, referred to Peters, 56, as "high yellah," a derogatory and outdated term historically used to describe Black individuals with lighter skin tones. The moment was later removed from the episode on ITV's streaming platform, ITVX, but clips of it circulated on social media, leading to public backlash. Yashere took to Instagram to express her disappointment with Peters, accusing him of not standing up more firmly against Margolyes' comment and of not embracing his Black identity. In her video, she said, "That reaction was on brand for Andi Peters. I don't think he's known that he's Black for at least the last 35 years." She also recalled an encounter at an ITV studio where she claimed Peters avoided a group of Black people, suggesting a possible discomfort with his own identity. Peters has not publicly detailed his response to the incident, but he did reply briefly to a tweet from presenter Jeremy Vine, thanking him and stating that they must be prepared for any situation. Margolyes, who was promoting her book Miriam's Full English, addressed the controversy during a book tour event in Southend-on-Sea. She said she did not intend to embarrass or hurt Peters and admitted she did not know he was Black until she saw him in person. She expressed a desire to understand how Black people feel about such remarks. ITV has not officially commented on the incident, and during the interview, Peters appeared visibly uncomfortable, noting that producers were growing nervous. Margolyes responded with a casual tone, telling him not to be nervous and stating that inclusion is a central theme of her book. The incident has sparked discussions about race, identity, and the responsibility of public figures in addressing offensive language.
