ITV's Loose Women could face an investigation after Ofcom received 78 complaints about the panel's discussion of Chrissy Teigen's miscarriage. The model shared heartbreaking photos from her hospital bed this week, announcing the loss of her baby Jack with husband John Legend.
During Thursday's episode, panelists Nadia Sawalha and Carol McGiffin discussed Teigen's Instagram post, with McGiffin saying she felt 'uncomfortable' viewing the images. Co-host Jane Moore questioned whether Teigen was in the 'right head space' to share such a private moment so soon after the tragedy.
Viewers criticised the discussion on social media, with some branding it 'deranged' and accusing the panel of 'judging' Teigen's decision. An Ofcom spokesperson confirmed to Metro.co.uk that they are assessing the complaints against broadcasting rules before deciding whether to investigate.
Teigen had kept fans updated on her pregnancy complications before sharing a tragic update, describing the 'deep pain' the family is experiencing. She wrote: 'We will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.'
