‘ITV has been warned against relying on a “combative dynamic” between presenters, such as Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain, because it risks breaching the broadcasting code.
Ofcom issued the warning after there were more than 1,600 complaints after Morgan used a “racist trope” and mimicked the Chinese language during an episode of the breakfast TV show on January 21.
During a discussion about Peter Phillips, the Queen’s grandson and son of the Princess Royal, starring in a TV advert for Chinese state milk, Morgan mimicked the dialect and used the phrase “ching chang”.’
