Voices: Piers Morgan’s Baby Reindeer interview was as bad as you’d expect

The internet has made it difficult for many of us to differentiate between “news” and “gossip”. That’s always been a problem to some degree – there are entire industries dedicated to telling you what brand of underwear your favourite actress wears – but it seems to have ramped up in recent years. Everybody wants to throw their two cents in, creating TikToks and Twitter threads speculating about the intimate details of strangers’ lives – even the ones who never asked to be in the spotlight.

That’s a problem. It’s not just about lowering the public discourse – there’s real, and not to get caught up in petty rumourmongering. Unfortunately for us, not all of them are able to resist the urge to get involved – and hope that maybe some of that spotlight shines on them, too.
