GMB Faces 8,000 Complaints Over Ed Balls Interview

News summary

Good Morning Britain has received over 8,000 Ofcom complaints after Ed Balls interviewed his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, and engaged in a contentious discussion with Labour MP Zarah Sultana. Complaints centered on perceived bias and conflict of interest, with viewers criticizing the appropriateness of Balls interrogating his spouse during a segment on far-right riots. Additionally, audiences were frustrated by Balls and co-host Kate Garraway's handling of interviews, accusing them of interrupting guests and failing to maintain impartiality. ITV defended the broadcasts as balanced and fair, while Ofcom is currently assessing the complaints to determine if an investigation is warranted.
