On Wednesday Ofcom said the Monday programme attracted 8,201 complaints about Balls questioning Ms Cooper, and an exchange with Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana.Balls clashed with a Labour MP about the violent far-right earlier in the episode. Good Morning Britain was branded 'embarrassing to the extreme' by viewers after Ed Balls, 57, interviewed his wife Yvette Cooper, 55, in a 'huge conflict of interests' on Monday's episode
Before the interview, which was led mostly by GMB host Kate Garraway, he said he had 'genuine questions' for Ms Cooper, as he has 'rarely seen her at all in the last week' because of the disorder on the streets. Hitting back Ms Sultana said she was going to wait for Garraway to finish her question before Balls interrupted: 'If you want to answer the questions, you can but you don't have to.'
Balls continued to interrupt her as she replied to Garraway's question about why she wanted politicians to call out Islamophobia.
