Angelone, who stars in the upcoming BBC sitcom Rewarding, apologised on Wednesday (21 October) for referring to influencer Rebecca Goodwin in a remark about rape, which he made during an appearance on Have a Word podcast in 2025.
She said it will "forever live with me that it was allowed for my name to be used as the punchline of a malicious 'joke' about such a serious issue".
She continued: "I understand comedy and things can be laughed at, but this is one of the hardest things I've ever been through in my life and I'm not exaggerating and it just hurts. It's not funny and he's not funny.”
After Goodwin’s response went viral, Angelone issued a statement that read: “I made a joke that I shouldn't have made and I’d like to say sorry. The joke referenced sexual violence. At the very least, I should have run the joke past the person mentioned and then still not told it because it isn't funny.
He added that he has reached out and apologised directly to Goodwin, and that he was “grateful” for being called out.
A BBC spokesperson said of Angelone’s comments: “We are aware of the concerns that have been raised and are actively considering them, recognising their seriousness and the sensitivities involved.”
