Sir Lenny Henry on TV diversity during the NTAS as he admits the ‘fight is ongoing’

The TV star has said that “there’s a lot of change happening” in the TV industry.

Lenny spoke about the lack of diversity saying “the fight… is something that’s ongoing”.

Speaking to the PA news agency on the red carpet at the National Television Awards, Sir Lenny, 65, said: “Things are changing.
“We’re seeing more people of colour wielding clipboards and telling people what to do.

“I see more people with disabilities doing stuff, I see more people with tattoos.

“I think there’s a lot of change happening, just in the last five years but, don’t let anybody be thinking that it’s over. Because the fight and, it is a fight, is something that’s ongoing.”
