ITV’s breakfast news show GMB has come in for over 8,000 complaints to watchdog Ofcom, reports indicate.

The objections were lodged after an episode earlier this week that included an interview segment featuring co-host Ed Balls and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who are married.

Additionally, a number of the complaints about Monday’s (August 5) episode are also said to concern words exchanged between ex Labour MP Ed and current independent MP Zarah Sultana.
