Bradley Walsh quickly deletes questionable Putin photo after sparking uproar

ok.co.uk:

Fans were left shocked when Bradley Walsh shared a controversial photo edited through artificial intelligence, showing him clinking beers with Vladimir Putin.

The Chase presenter posted the digitally altered image, and despite his confession that he's never met Putin, it upset a few of his followers with strong reactions flooding in—one critical comment read: "Not funny, he has killed millions." Meanwhile, disapproving voices added: "Just nope.

Not here for this." and "This isn't it." One person was so discomforted by the post that they simply stated, "Unfollowed." In response to the backlash, Bradley swiftly removed the contentious picture, reports the Mirror.

Instead, he uploaded a fresh snap where he stands solo before a BBC Doctor Who banner. He took this opportunity to express the serious implications of such AI technology, insisting on the importance of recognising its potential harms—highlighting that he had never encountered not just Putin but Donald Trump either.
