A BBC presenter has been told by the corporation that a comment he made toward a female Australian cricketer was “not appropriate” after he called her a “little Barbie” during a match interview earlier this week.
Presenter Chris Hughes made the comment to Maitlan Brown on Tuesday after the sportswoman said her Southern Brave team had bonded by playing a practice game and going to the cinema to see the “Barbie” movie. Hughes responded: “You’re a little Barbie yourself with your blue eyes,” adding: “She’s blushing now.” A BBC spokesperson said in a statement to CNN Thursday: “We have spoken to Chris and explained that his comment was not appropriate.
” All-rounder Brown and the Braves eventually defeated the Trent Rockets by 27 runs in their opening match of “The Hundred,” a franchise cricket competition based in the UK. Hughes, who rose to fame in 2017 as a contestant on the reality TV dating show “Love Island,” is part of the BBC’s presenting line-up for “The Hundred,” and has also contributed to ITV’s horseracing coverage. His comments toward Brown were met with criticism on social media.
