GMB host Ranvir Singh branded ‘insensitive’ over ‘blind drunk’ comment to partially sighted man: ‘Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that’

An unfortunate error that she quickly apologised for

GMB presenter Ranvir Singh was blasted by viewers today (Thursday March 7) over a “blind drunk” remark she made by mistake during a segment with a partially sighted guest.

Ex Leeds Rhinos player Matthew Syron, 32, was smashed in the face with a glass during a Boxing Day night out last December.

Gareth Dean’s horrific attack on Matthew left him with blood pouring from his eyes – and it is not known whether his vision will ever improve despite undergoing surgery to restore his vision.

Matthew Syron’s ordeal

Dean has now been jailed for 10 years and eight months, with a further five years on licence, after he admitted causing GBH with intent.

Leeds Crown Court heard he 10 previous convictions for 15 offences, including serious violence.

Dean admitted he had sunk 15 pints that night, and also tested positive for cocaine.

But after fleeing the club where Matthew endured the terrible ordeal, it was six days before Dean handed himself into police.
