Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls faced significant backlash from viewers for his interviewing style during a discussion with former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, with fans comparing him to Piers Morgan and criticizing his frequent interruptions. The interview revolved around accusations by Chancellor Rachel Reeves that Hunt lied about public finances, resulting in a '£22 billion black hole' for the new Labour government to address. Viewer complaints extended to social media, where many called for Balls' dismissal. Additionally, Balls was criticized for asking an inappropriate question to co-star Christine Lampard about urinating in pools, and for not reporting on new footage of a controversial incident at Manchester Airport. The criticism of his handling of the Manchester Airport story was particularly pointed due to his marriage to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, raising concerns about potential bias.
