The Metro has issued an unreserved apology to former Fame Academy judge David Grant MBE after mistakenly publishing his image in an article about Andy Carroll.
On 3 October 2026, the outlet published an article titled “Andy Carroll confirms he was sexually assaulted by former BBC dance coach Kevin Adams”, which identified Kevin Adams as the individual who sexually assaulted Carroll. The article included an image of Grant as a result of a Getty miscaption.
Mistake and removal
The image of Grant was published by mistake and was promptly removed from the article and social media posts.
The Metro said it unreservedly apologises to Grant for the mistake and has agreed to pay him damages as a mark of its regret.
