Emily Maitlis fans are worried her career is “over” after the Channel 4 news anchor was abruptly taken off-air. Emily was presenting the night of US election coverage alongside Krishnan Guru-Murthy when she let slip a swearword, receiving a telling off from Krishnan and being forced to offer an apology. Now fans think the word “batsh**” could be the end of the reporter, despite making waves in the news industry with her 2019 interview with Prince Andrew , Duke of York, about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The broadcast took a turn when Emily declared: “It's not that they disagree about one thing. The whole thing is asymmetric. When Donald Trump talked about eating cats and dogs.
Half of America was thinking, 'This is bats**t. I can't believe what he's saying. This is going to be the end of him'.
" Krishnan immediately interjected: “Stop swearing. I have to tell [the guests] off for swearing and then you do it," as Emily apologised – but later, she was nowhere to be seen as some fans thought she’d “stormed off set”. Krishnan added: “I will tell off Emily later because I know she started swearing.
It may be the middle of the night in Britain but we're still a little bit sensitive about that stuff." Taking to X to share their thoughts, one viewer said: “This really should be career ending for Emily Maitlis. She couldn't even compose herself over a US Election result.
She lives in the UK FFS! Channel 4 shot itself in the foot .
