Huw Edwards and Phillip Schofield are big household names and there was incredible amounts of news coverage over both of them, across newspapers, television, and online, over a long period of time.
Dan Wootton is an gossip columnist whose career peak was 5 years ago, and the only real coverage has been in Private Eye. Coverage outside that only started last night in the relatively unknown, and not exactly the most trustworthy in moments past, Byline Times, timed to coincide with the start of his show on GB News. There was little prior period of gossip to pre-warn of an issue.
At the very least, the timing is hardly ideal for the moderation team to react.
