Ofcom writes to Sky and ITV after complaints from Nicola Bulley’s family

Broadcasters asked to ‘explain their actions’ as family say they ignored request for privacy after body was found

Ofcom has contacted Sky and ITV about complaints made by the family of Nicola Bulley that the broadcasters intruded on their grief when they had asked for privacy after the discovery of her body.

The broadcasting regulator said it was “extremely concerned” to hear the comments from the family of Bulley, whose body was identified on Monday after being pulled from a Lancashire river after a near month-long search.
