Downing Street contacts accuser

DOWNING Street has contacted a TV producer who claims she was groped during a meeting at Number 10, to ask if she wishes to make a formal complaint.

Daisy Goodwin, creator of hit ITV series Victoria, said an official touched her breast after a discussion of a proposed TV programme during David Cameron’s time in office.

The former prime minister has said he was “alarmed and shocked” to hear her allegations, and has contacted the Cabinet Office to voice his concern.

Theresa May’s spokesman declined to say whether any complaint had been received, but a Whitehall source indicated that contact had been made with Ms Goodwin to ensure she knew that if she chose to make a complaint, it would be looked into.
