Ofcom has decided not to investigate the live interview between Ed Balls and his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, which garnered over 16,000 complaints due to perceptions of bias. ITV's chief executive, Dame Carolyn McCall, defended the broadcast, asserting it was conducted fairly, with the majority led by co-host Kate Garraway. Despite the complaints, Ofcom noted the couple's relationship was disclosed during the interview and a variety of perspectives were included, leading to no further action. However, they warned ITV to ensure greater impartiality in future similar interviews. McCall stated that such interviews would not occur again, recognizing the sensitivity of the situation. Critics, including former Tory MP Jonathan Gullis, expressed disbelief at Ofcom's decision, citing concerns about unequal treatment compared to other broadcasters.
