Martine Croxall broke rules over 'pregnant people' facial expression, BBC says

BBC presenter Martine Croxall faced complaints for her expression during a segment about research on vulnerable groups during heatwaves. She changed a script from "pregnant people" to "pregnant women," raising controversy. The BBC upheld 20 complaints, citing concerns over impartiality and the perception of personal views. Harry Potter author JK Rowling praised Croxall, but the BBC's Executive Complaints Unit noted the incident was inconsistent with BBC guidelines on impartiality.
