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.
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.”
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.”
