A children's television presenter with the BBC has accused the broadcasting corporation of dabbing hot chocolate on her face, because they did not have the right make-up products to complement her skin tone, according to reports.
The former TV host, comedian, and a regular on Blue Peter, London Hughes, recently highlighted how broadcasters are not measuring up on diversity and also illustrated the "well-intentioned" racism that she regularly encounters in her work.
"I used to present on CBBC and one of the make-up artists there put hot chocolate on my face because she didn’t have any make-up for black people. That was in 2012," Hughes said while talking to Fortunately podcast.
