Criticism
Derbyshire was criticised for interviewing the convicted sex offender Jonathan King after his release from prison. In 2006, Jamie Oliver strongly rebuked Derbyshire, after she questioned his commitment to helping young people in the Cornwall area.

The McCanns had recently been on Derbyshire's programme to mark the 4th anniversary of Madeleine McCann's disappearance.
