For those still interested here’s our statement from earlier on why Newsnight had a member of the public come on to participate in a debate about Brexit. The fact Lynn is a pastor and does some acting on the side was totally irrelevant to the discussion.

Claims that Lynn appeared on #newsnight as a paid actor are false. Lynn is a pastor and was a genuine participant of our Brexit debate. She carries out work as an extra using her middle name but this is not relevant to the capacity in which she appeared. #VicarGate
