This Morning hit with Ofcom complaints over ‘gross’ farting woman who left Holly Willoughby crying with laughter

THIS Morning has been hit with complaints after airing a segment featuring a woman who farts for money online.

The interview left presenter Holly Willoughby in hysterics, but viewers were unimpressed with the “gross” feature and have complained to Ofcom.

This Morning viewers have complained about a woman who farts for a living

A total of eight people contacted the broadcasting regulator over Emma Martin, who makes up to £3,000 a month faring online.

During the interview with the mum-of-two, who quit her job as a travel agent to do it, Holly battled with hysterics, barely able to get through questions such as: “Can you fart on command or do you have to work up to it?”

But at the end she couldn’t stop herself after Emma spoke about her windy craft saying: “You just have to be yourself and let it come through.”

Holly Willoughby found it very funny – but viewers didn’t

Her This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield, 59, remarked: “You certainly do that.”

Holly cracked up so much she started weeping, laughing: “It’s amazing, I love it.”

Those at home expressed their opinion at the time, with one person writing: “@thismorning why would you give this farting woman air time? so much other worthy stories you can report and place on air (no pun intented) This is fart-diculous #thismorning #fart #madness #Weird #tv #thismorning.”


Another added: “WTF? SOOOO gross.”
While someone else wrote:  “Oh my lord. What the hell am I watching on plus one. A nutter selling farting videos??  No it’s not funny Holly it’s disgusting. And what time of loons pay money to buy her videos?  #ThisMorning.”
