 An actress has won a pregnancy discrimination case after being dropped by a minor role in a TV adaptation of one of JK Rowland's criminal novels. Antonia Kinley appeared in the 2018 adaptation of Carrier of Evil and had expected to return in the follow-up, but her role was recast after she became pregnant because producers feared audience would be confused if a character had a visible baby bomb. An employment tribunal had upheld her claim and awarded an £11,000 payout. Brunfilm and TV, the production company behind the BBC TV adaptations of Rowland's Camoran strike novels, claimed it would have cost £25,000 to digitally remove Ms Kinley's baby bomb from the footage, but the tribunal judges said it would have been possible to conceal Ms Kinley's pregnancy through the use of costume, camera angle, props, the positioning of other actors and make-ups, if appropriate.
