Good Morning Britain hit by MORE Ofcom complaints over Piers Morgan’s ‘offensive language’ and row with Gavin Williamson

GOOD Morning Britain were hit by MORE Ofcom complaints – this time over Piers Morgan’s “offensive language” and his row with Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.

The ITV breakfast show received 75 complaints to British broadcast regulator on February 24 and 151 on February 23.



Viewers complained about Piers’ offensive language

Ofcom have revealed 40 complaints were concerned with Piers offensive language.

Meanwhile, 27 complaints were targeted towards Piers Morgan’s interview with Gavin Williamson.

Piers stunned his co-host Susanna Reid when he suggested getting “b***end” tattooed across his forehead.

The day before, he divided viewers when he lashed out at a headteacher who has a full tattoo sleeve – accusing him of a “drop in standards”.



Piers said he should have “b***end” tattooed across his forehead

The debate continued into the next day with Susanna continuing to insist that Piers was being unreasonable and that tattoos have no impact on somebody’s ability to perform any job to a high standard.

As the argument grew more heated, Piers discussed what tattoo he would get, asking if he should have “Legend” inked across his forehead.

Susanna muttered in response: “Something else across your forehead…”

Piers abruptly replied: “B***end!”



Viewers also complained about Gavin Williamson’s interview

The Education Secretary said he “deeply regrets” the law break after being asked 11 times

Later on in the day, Piers interviewed MP Gavin Williamson – who finally admitted that he “deeply regrets” the government breaking the law over PPE contracts after refusing to do so 11 times.

The High Court found the Government acted unlawfully by failing to publish details of billions of pounds’ worth of contracts for vital PPE needed during the Covid pandemic.

Following their heated six-minute exchange, Piers thanked the Education Secretary for “finally” saying he regretted the government’s actions.

The day before Piers blasted Matt Hancock in an explosive clash yesterday, where the Health Secretary refused to say sorry and insisted his team should be thanked.

This exchange landed Good Morning Britain with 175 complaints.
