From today's Mirror Online:
Quote:
TV VIEWERS were shocked yesterday morning when Channel 4's RI:SE show host Kate Lawler described Adolf Hitler as a "great leader".
Kate was discussing a new study which claims first-born children are the most successful.
She said: "The eldest child always seems to be determined, ambitious and the most successful.
"Every US astronaut has been the eldest boy in their family and Winston Churchill, Saddam Hussein, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are all first-born children.
"But Margaret Thatcher, Adolf Hitler and Napoleon were all middle children and all great leaders of their time."
Co-host Dougie Anderson moved the discussion swiftly on.
It is not the first time breakfast viewers have woken up to controversy.
Last month Big Brother contestant Federico Martone described what housemate Lisa was saying as "a bag of w**k".
Lawler - a Big Brother winner - was forced to issue a grovelling apology.

Ooops!
Wonder if she writes her own script, or if she was just reading that from an autocue? I suspect the latter, in which case someone needs their knuckles severely rapped!
