Good Morning Britain sparks backlash as fans threaten to report ITV show hosts to Ofcom

Good Morning Britainviewers have threatened to complain to watchdog Ofcom after commentary from Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.

The presenters, who returned to the ITV programme this week after the summer break, interviewed new Green party leader Zack Polanskion Wednesday (September 3) morning.

The politician has hit headlines after being voted in as Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, and was probed on his views and past comments on GMB.

However, viewers were less than impressed, accusing Susanna and Ed of "attacking".

"Don’t like him but what a silly line of questioning to this Polanski guy on #gmb ask him some proper questions," one said.

Another wrote: "Very hostile questioning of Zach Polanski #GMB."

A third fumed: "Susanna Reid and Ed Balls attack, attack, attack. What the hell is wrong with them."

Someone else echoed: "GMB is so, so, so embarrassing these days. Talk over and badger guests. at every turn."

"Balls and Reid are embarrassing and despicable on #gmb They should be reported to @ofcom," another said.

Another slammed: “Poor interview, I’m sure Susanna is trying too hard too turn into Piers Morgan, and spectacularly failing.”

“Point of this interview ? Total waste of the man's time just tried to make a fool of him, both presenters rude and looked down on him,” someone else said.

During the interview, Ed and Susanna questioned Zack on his proposed immigration policy, saying he “despises” Nigel Farage’s politics, thinks Brexit has been “catastrophic”, and questions why we’d set “limits” on immigration.

He elsewhere set the record straight after comments he made 12 years ago about hypnotherapy and women’s breasts have resurfaced.

Ed probed: “At the time you believed that through hypnotherapy you could enlarge women’s breasts and charge people for it. What was your thinking then and how did your thinking change subsequently?”

Zack replied: “Anyone who believed that, that would be problematic and it is nothing I ever believed.”

He went on to claim he was “misrepresented” in the original article which he thought was about body image and apologised a day later.

“Since then I have a strong track record of standing up for social justice, standing up to lower people’s bills, standing up for marginalised people in this country and that’s a platform I’m very proud to stand on today.”
