Good Morning Britain and Piers Morgan hit by 312 Ofcom complaints in just four days

GOOD Morning Britain has been hit with another 312 complaints to TV watchdog Ofcom - in just four days.

The Piers Morgan-fronted show regularly tops the most-objected-to charts and this week was no different.

Complaints peaked at 221 on Tuesday 23rd June when Piers and Susannah Reid clashed over comments made by care minister Helen Whately.

Piers stuck his fingers in his ears as co-host Susanna Reid tried to read out a Government-issued statement.

After weeks of Piers talking over ministers and ripping into them over the UK's record on the coronavirus crisis, the Government began to boycott the show.

"If they're boycotting us, I'm going to boycott their stupid little statements," Piers fumed.

Later in the show Susanna was forced to apologise to GMB viewers when rapper Dizzee Rascal said "p*** off" after a row with Piers.

The 49-year-old laughed as she said sorry for the slip up during a fiery exchange with Dizzee who refused to discuss Black Lives Matter because "it's too early".

The rapper, 35, told Piers he wouldn't engage in a debate after being quizzed on the "White Lives Matter" banner, which was flown over the Etihad Football Stadium.

Pointing his finger at the screen Dizzee insisted: "I know you talk over people and don't let them speak but you're not going to do that to me.

"Let's keep it calm. I've got a bunch of views but right now is not the time."

Dizzee added: "You can't force me."

Piers screeched: "I've got no intention of forcing you. You have reacted very aggressively to a very polite question."

Dizzee joked: "This is what happens, I become the aggressive black man. Leave me alone."
