The Doctor Who actor has locked horns with politician Kemi Badenoch after he sparked controversy with his comments at this year's British LGBT Awards
Political commentator Albie Amankona has been left fuming after David Tennant made a controversial speech at the British LGBT Awards.
The actor, who was accepting an award for being a "celebrity ally" to the trans community, said during his speech that he wished the Equalities Minister would "shut up".
He also suggested that until people like Badenoch "don't exist anymore", the issue of trans rights will continue to be a talking point.
Badenoch has since hit back at Tennant, branding him a "rich, lefty, white male celebrity" and defended her stance for wanting to ban trans women from women’s toilets and sports teams in order to protect females.
She also insisted she "will not shut up" or be "silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls".
Speaking about the actor's comments on GB News, Amankona said: "I think David Tennant is in the wrong The trans and gender ideology debate is a very fraught debate."
