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

Good Morning Britain viewers 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 Polanski on 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.

"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.
