Katherine Ryan addresses 'pressure' on comics as she refuses to comment on Jimmy Carr
Jimmy Carr on many shows including 8 out of 10 Cats and Your Face Or Mine? Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk about the "pressure" comedians are under, including Jimmy.The comic was quizzed if the hate Jimmy had received was understandable or had people taking the situation too far.Katherine replied: "I mean, I can’t comment on any specific situation but I definitely know that comedians tell jokes and have different styles."I think that right now there seems to be a lot of pressure against a certain genre of comedy."So it isn’t about this job or that job because I think, at this point if a few jokes from that special have been in the press, it's like you’re offended by all of it or you’re offended by none of it as far I’m concerned."There was backlash in response to Jimmy's Netflix show, His Dark Material.On the show, he said: "When people talk about the Holocaust, they talk about the tragedy and horror of six million Jewish lives being lost to the Nazi war machine."But they never mention the thousands of Gypsies that were killed by the Nazis."No one ever wants to talk about that, because no one ever wants to talk about the positives."The statement prompted laughter and clapping from the audience.However, worldwide Jimmy has been faced with lots of criticism from many for his outrageous comment.The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, a charity founded by the government to support the UK's national commemoration day, has said that the jokes were "abhorrent".The chief executive Olivia Marks-Woldman said: "We are absolutely appalled at Jimmy Carr’s comment about persecution suffered by Roma and Sinti people under Nazi oppression, and horrified that gales of laughter followed his remarks."Hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti

Four things Klopp got right as Liverpool beat Brighton to pile pressure on Man City
Liverpool continued to pile the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City with a comfortable 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.The Reds maintained their relentless run in the league, claiming an eighth successive win to cut City's lead down to a mere three points.Luiz Diaz opened the scoring at the AMEX less than 20 minutes into the contest, heading home after the Premier League's Player of the Month for February, Joel Matip, floated one in behind Brighton's backline.The Colombian courageously nodded past onrushing Seagulls stopper Robert Sanchez, who was lucky to escape punishment after clattering the Liverpool forward.Mohamed Salah then converted a second-half penalty to clinch a comfortable victory after Brighton's Yves Bissouma blocked Naby Keita's goal-bound effort with his hand.Here, Daily Star Sport takes a closer look at what Jurgen Klopp got right against Brighton on a beautiful day on the south coast.Diaz's has made a seamless transition to Premier League football since his £50million arrival from Porto, even if he claims otherwise.The Colombian told BT Sport prior to Saturday's match that his start has been far from "easy" but it's fair to say he's made quite the impact.Klopp opted to drop him to the bench for Liverpool's 1-0 midweek Champions League defeat to Inter Milan and his absence was glaring.At the AMEX, however, Diaz was in from the off and the German's decision to recall his new recruit was justified.It took the 25-year-old less than 20 minutes to make his mark, racing in behind Brighton's backline before bravely glancing a header past the onrushing Sanchez.The goal was Diaz's second in Liverpool colours and you get the impression there's plenty more to come.Will Liverpool be crowned Premier
