Sky News cancels Freya Fires Up after Islamophobic bacon stunt
The bacon incident
Sky News has confirmed it has cancelled its program Freya Fires Up after just six episodes, following a controversial segment where a guest with bacon on his shoulders made anti-Islamic statements during a live cross.
The show, hosted by 22-year-old Sky News personality Freya Leach, went to air live on the News Corp-owned network on Sunday September 21.
The guest, UK-based “social media sensation” Ryan Williams, wore rashes of bacon on his shoulders during the cross — from Sky News’ Perth studio — and called Muslims terrorists.
