Goggle box sparks Ofcom complaints after cast watched Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah

 

Goggle box viewers have complained to Ofcom after a series of remarks were made on the programme.

Some fans tuning in to the Channel 4 show last Friday (March 12) were left offended by what the cast had to say about Meghan and Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah.

The episode was eagerly awaited by fans following the dramatic aftermath of the interview, which saw Piers Morgan quitting as Good Morning Britain presenter following a row over the Duchess of Sussex's claims.

But some of the Gogglebox cast may have stepped too far,

Ofcom received 51 complaints regarding the remarks by those on the show.

It's not clear which of the cast caused offence, but they weren't shy in sharing their opinions of the explosive interview.

Sophie Sandiford from Blackpool commented on claims by Prince Harry that senior royals suggested Meghan should start acting again to cover their lost security costs.

She joked: "Stick her in the gift shop while you're at it. You know, 30 hours a week in the gift shop - that should cover her funds.

Lee Riley, reacting to Meghan telling Oprah that people can understand her time at the palace because of lockdown, said: "I weren't in a f**king 14-bedroom f**king castle."

Referring to the racist claims, Pete Sandiford said: "I mean, this is going to have massive ramifications now for the Royal Family because our perception of them is changing."

Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah, which was aired by ITV on March 8, has already caused a huge fallout.

Piers Morgan's rant about Meghan on Good Morning Britain was revealed to have taken the top spot for the most complained about TV moment ever on Wednesday (March 17).

57,000 complaints had then been lodged over the dramatic outburst on Good Morning Britain which saw Piers quit.

That had risen from 41,000.

An Ofcom spokesperson said: "We can confirm that this issue has attracted the highest number of complaints since our reporting began."

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
