Ant and Dec Apologise and Remove Podcast Promo After Mental Health Concerns
Ant and Dec removed a podcast promo after fans called the imagery triggering due to suicide associations, apologizing and responding to mental health concerns.
- On January 17, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly apologised and deleted the promo video posted on their Belta Box Instagram and X on Friday, which showed them suspended from a washing line with feet dangling.
- Intended as a play on the podcast title, the promo featured washing line imagery with the line `Hanging out with Ant and Dec, our new podcast, is coming soon`, while Dec declared `This is not what we meant by hanging out`.
- Followers and social-media followers criticised the promo as 'horrendous' and 'triggering', urging removal and asking what mental-health charities like Samaritans and NHS 111 made of it.
