Loose Women has been hit with a number of Ofcom complaints from ITV viewers over a comment panellist Katie Piper made on the show.
The broadcasting watchdog has revealed that they received over 60 reports in response to the presenter's reaction to a picture of a "goth baby".
During the segment on the lunchtime show, Kaye Adams, Katie Piper, Judi Love and Nadia Swahala discussed if parents should impose their lifestyle choices on their children.
The debate was sparked after one mother turned her entire home into the real life Addams Family following the release of Netflix's new show Wednesday and has now resulted in 66 complaints to Ofcom.

She continued: "It's all black and dark. Babies don't like that.
"I'm just going to put it out there it's giving me satanic vibes, it's giving me bad energy, it's toxic, I don't like it and also it's a baby.

As the Loose Women host Ruth Langsford welcomed viewers to the first episode of the panel show this year, she was joined by Carol McGiffin, Brenda Edwards, and Kelle Bryan.
After discussing Prince William's upcoming bombshell ITV interview, the Loose Women went on to discuss childcare and the workplace after one woman sparked controversy this week when she admitted that she was planning on caring for her toddler while working from home.
While Loose Women panellist Carol slammed the mum's decision to work from home and care for her child at the same time, Brenda revealed that she felt sympathy for the young mum who was trying her best to juggle parenting while working her day job.

"I worked very successfully with my two children working alongside me and along with them. And if you monitor things - the work that has got to be done - then there's no other people that will have to take up any slack," Brenda argued.
"Nobody had to take up the slack for me. I did my work and I took great pride in that," she added before Carol interrupted.
