On Monday( 26 July), Till took to Instagram and uploaded a photo that featured a pregnant trans woman getting an ultrasound with an inappropriate emoji shown on the screen.
Woodward then proceeded to comment on the transphobic photo writing “Absolutely”, alongside a skull emoji. The photo received immediate backlash from LGBTQ+ Instagram users, which ultimately prompted an apology from the British soap star.
In a statement to MailOnline, the 28-year-old actor said: “I would like to apologise for engaging with an offensive post on social media.
The interaction is not indicative of my beliefs or attitude as an ally of the LGBTQ+ community.” “I believe in the right of every person to live life being true to themselves without criticism.
