This Morning viewers rage ‘get over yourself!’ as debate about dwarf actors being cut from ‘woke’ Snow White remake takes explosive turn

This Morning viewers raged ‘get over yourself’ as a debate about dwarf actors being cut from the Snow White remake took an explosive turn.

Disability lecturer Dr Erin Pritchard and performer Choon Tan featured on the ITV show on Friday, hosted by Dermot O’Leary and Josie Gibson, to share their thoughts about the new Disney film.

The movie used computer generated images (CGI) to reimagine the seven dwarves as ‘magical creatures,’ which has caused great debate.

Dr Pritchard, who helped with the script development, argued that the dwarves in Snow White were ‘gnome-type like things’ instead.
