Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has challenged an unrepentant Carol Thatcher about her use of the word "golliwog".

The daughter of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher referred to a tennis player as a "golliwog" backstage during filming of the BBC's The One Show earlier this year.

Thatcher and Kinnock were appearing on the Andrew Marr Show when they discussed the use of the word.
