India Willoughby slams This Morning
Julia featured on the show alongside Nick Ferrari earlier today.
However, her appearance didn’t sit well with India.
The Celebrity Big Brother star was quick to share a series of tweets previously made by Julia.
Her comments were particularly offensive towards transgender women.

In September, Julia wrote: “I see #TransWomenAreWomen is trending. Trans women are trans women – biological males living as women. They are not a subset of women.
“Adult human females are not cis women. We are not a subset of women, we are not the vagina variant, we are WOMEN. #YouCantBeOffendedByTheTruth.”
In addition, Julia also made a comment about transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard in July this year.
Why isn’t this taken as seriously as racial or homophobic insults? She and you know it’s offensive – but you keep using her. It’s wrong @ITV @ThisMorning @Schofe . But you keep quiet. So disappointing.

India threatens to switch off
India was quick to point out that Julia’s appearance came one day after Azeem Rafiq’s testimony of racism in cricket.
She tweeted: “After yesterday’s heartbreaking testimony of cricketer Rafiq, you put Julia Hartley-Brewer on – a woman who is doing exactly the same NOW to another minority. If this was race – sacked.
“Double standards @ITV. Slap in the face for LGBT viewers and staff @ThisMorning #ThisMorning.”
Double standards ITV!
India added: “Why isn’t this taken as seriously as racial or homophobic insults? She and you know it’s offensive – but you keep using her. It’s wrong @ITV @ThisMorning @Schofe. But you keep quiet. So disappointing.
“It’s exactly what Rafiq was talking about yesterday. Just brushed over. Ignored. I love your show – but how can I watch when she’s on?
“You either stand for inclusion and diversity, or you stand with bullies.”
