Ofcom has initiated an investigation into Sky News following allegations of harassment made by Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK. Farage claims that reporters approached his daughter's residence while he was abroad, infringing on his family's privacy. The broadcaster has denied these allegations, stating they did not interact with his daughter and were attempting to ask Farage about a significant financial gift he received.
Reform UK has formally complained to Ofcom, requesting an on-air apology from Sky News and a commitment to avoid contacting Farage's family at home. Ofcom has not disclosed details about the investigation but aims to resolve complaints regarding fairness and privacy within 90 working days.
