Loose Women hit with Ofcom complaints after Katie Piper's 'goth baby' comments

Loose Women has been hit with a fresh number of Ofcom complaints over comments panellist Katie Piper made on the show in recent weeks.

The broadcasting regulator previously confirmed the ITV panel show received viewer complaints in response to comments the 39-year-old made about a gothic interior to a nursery.

Yet Ofcom has now announced the show received an additional 52 reports from ITV viewers this week, taking the total number of complaints to 156.

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 show Wednesday, directly by Tim Burton.

After watching the clip, Katie could be heard gasping before saying: "I don't like that interior."

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. The cots are a tomb. You can't put your baby in a grave."

This comes after the Loose Women panel and studio audience were left gobsmacked on Tuesday morning when Coleen Nolan revealed how she took revenge on a cheating ex-boyfriend.

Christine Lampard, Kéllé Bryan and Brenda Edwards joined Coleen on the panel as they discussed pettiness in the wake of a break-up.

As the panel reflected on their own behaviour following a break-up, Coleen said: “I always think, for me, even when sometimes you’re not happy and you’re crying inside and then they see you again, say hi.

“Their ego can’t stand you getting over them, so you’re feeding their ego more if you keep going on at them. I’ve always been one to appear happy.”

However, the former singer then admitted she had done one vengeful thing in the past, but added that she immediately regretted it the following day.

Coleen went on to explain how an ex-boyfriend cheated on her, but that she ultimately became friendly with the girl who he left her for.

She said: “We talked and it was fine. But she kept saying this thing every time we met, which was ‘He’ll never do it to me’.

“In the end, I thought, what are you saying here? Like I deserved it? You’re saying you’re better than me almost.”

Coleen said she then decided to invited her ex-boyfriend around to her house for a ‘little chat’ and then told the studio: “I slept with him,” prompting open-mouthed looks from her fellow panellists and a raucous response from the live studio audience.
