C4 sorry for Stoke-on-Trent 'homeless' gaffe

The gormless duo are at again:

Channel 4 has been forced to apologise after stating that one-fifth of Stoke-on-Trent families are homeless.

The station's bizarre gaffe was made on the 17th October on property show Location Location Location: Best and Worst Live, presented by Kirstie Allsop and Phil Spencer.

The city's mayor informed the programme makers that there are, in fact, just thirteen registered homeless families in the area.


Channel 4 said that the error came about following a misinterpretation of statistics.

Nothing new there then
