ITV slammed for Grand National coverage of scary Broadway Boy fall
ITV viewers were furious that there was no mention of Broadway Boy after the horse suffered a horrifying fall during the Grand National. Broadway Boy fell while leading the race with four fences to go and did not get back on his feet. Viewers were understandable worried for the seven-year-old, but ITV opted against mentioning the incident.
One viewer wrote on X: “TV commentary overdoing it on how much care the horses get after the race but absolutely no mention of Broadway Boy, the horse that fell and stopped moving. If you want to do transparency, you can’t just pick and choose the bits you’re transparent about #grandnational.”
