ITV boss admits Ed Balls’ interview with his wife was ‘tricky’ after thousands of Ofcom complaints

Ed Balls' "tricky" interview with his wife on GMB sparked thousands of Ofcom complaints and now an ITV boss has spoken out.

In August, Good Morning Britain came under fire as host Ed interviewed his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper. Ed and co-host Kate Garraway interviewed Yvette on the government’s response to violent riots happening in parts of the UK at the time. A statement read: “Taking into account that their relationship was made clear twice, that a range of views about Labour’s handling of the riots were included in the programme as a whole, and given the vast majority of the interview was conducted by co-presenter, Kate Garraway, we will not be pursuing further.”
