JACK Whitehall's hilarious Brits hosting duties didn't please everyone with 25 fans complaining about his jokes.

The comedian's joke about dads with scatter cushions led to the complaints from viewers who didn't think it was appropriate for the show.

After Little Mix's PVC clad performance, he said: "Raunchy! Dads up and down the country are awkwardly fumbling for a scatter cushion right now."

Ofcom revealed the joke prompted 25 of the 38 complaints about last night's show with a further eight complaining about Little Mix's performance, but Jack's boundary-pushing comments didn't end there.

The girl group - made up of Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - were part of a very awkward interview with host Jack as he grilled them on their row with Piers Morgan.

The Good Morning Britiain host had launched an attack on the band for stripping naked for an empowering photoshoot.

Jack couldn't resist trying to stoke the fires of the feud by asking the girls about him and unleashing a savage insult of his own.

He said: "Piers Morgan. He didn't like that picture where you stripped off naked which is weird because four chins and voluptuous breasts - it must have been like looking in the mirror."

He then asked Jesy: "What would you say to that dutty wasteman?"

Piers blasted the group last year for stripping off for the photoshoot.

He ranted: "They're stripping off to sell albums, that's what it's about.

"The rest of it is baloney. They don't have any flaws, they've been airbrushed to look perfect.

"They're fake. There's not a mark on them. You can't even see the surgery."

But while she wouldn't answer, viewers loved the savage insult with one tweeting: "@jackwhitehall calling Pier’s Morgan a ‘dutty wasteman’ live on The Brits has quite frankly made my entire year already."

A second said: "That little mix interview was awkward as f*** but the Piers Morgan joke was pretty good #brits."

Jesy was also left cringing when Jack asked her about her kebab shop tonguing in front of millions of viewers.

The Little Mix singer could hardly contain her discomfort as comedian Jack brought up her very tongue-heavy kiss with Love Island star Chris Hughes.

The pair were pictured locking lips in a greasy kebab shop in south London last month and Jack wasn't about to let Jesy forget it.

Sitting on their table at the ceremony, the comedian told them: "I love Little Mix though, you girls have a wonderful time at the after party, night clubs, kebab shops or wherever you naughty Little Mixers get up to mischief."

But as soon as he said kebab shops, Jesy's face tightened and she rolled her eyes while the other girls suppressed laughter.
