Britain's BBC has apologised to Nigel Farage over a story it ran on the closure of his accounts at NatWest's private bank Coutts, which the former Brexit Party leader had said was the result of his political views.

The BBC had previously reported Farage falling below the financial threshold required to be a customer at Coutts - whose website advises its clients should be able to borrow or invest at least 1 million pounds with the bank or hold 3 million pounds in savings - was the reason for the closure. The public broadcaster added an update to the top of the online version of its original story, and the BBC Business Editor Simon Jack tweeted his own apology.
