Sunday newspapers focus on Andy Burnham’s comments about a possible UK apology for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, alongside a report about Celebrity Traitors star King Kenny staying at Maya Jama’s home.
The Sunday Express leads with the headline “PM ‘lets down the King’ over slavery apology”. It says Mr Burnham has been accused of making an “irresponsible” blunder while King Charles III is touring the Caribbean.
The Daily Mail also covers the issue, reporting that Mr Burnham’s comments have led to renewed debate over reparations and the King’s position.
Several papers are examining what the remarks could mean for the monarchy and the Government as the King carries out his Caribbean tour.
The Sun on Sunday leads on a separate entertainment story under the headline “Kenny’s secret nights at Maya’s”. It reports that YouTuber King Kenny spent two nights at Maya Jama’s £1.5 million home in north London.
The paper says Kenny, 29, was seen leaving the property on Friday before travelling to the BBC for filming connected with The Celebrity Traitors.
A source close to Maya Jama told the paper that the pair are friends and that Kenny slept on the sofa. The source also said there was nothing romantic between them.
The reports follow the final of The Celebrity Traitors, in which Kenny voted against Jama at the last roundtable. Jama was then banished from the BBC series.
