In response to a viewer's question on what she thought about "woke warriors" in the main street media who "constantly talk our country down," Ms Feltz said: "I think anyone who talks our country down whether they are woke or non-woke probably doesn't do anyone any good. I am very proud to be British. I am very grateful to be British.

       "My family are Jewish refugees from all over the world that found sanctuary in this safe country."

       The TV star studied English literature at Trinity College Cambridge, before going on to build a hugely successful career in the media.

       "Therefore anybody woke or non-woke who talks this country down won't find favour with me."

       “We know that traditional linear consumption has really changed, " she explained.

       "People don't sit at home for three hours and watch a show.

       "Instead they want to snack on the best bits for them on the platforms that they're already using.

       “So that's why we publish natively across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and we tailor the content specifically for the platform that it's on so we're pretty agnostic in terms of how the content looks and feels across the different destinations that we have and the website.”
