TV regulator Ofcom has confirmed that it has launched an investigation after receiving over 41,000 complaints about Monday morning's edition of Good Morning Britain.

The breakfast programme went on air just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they made several damaging allegations against the Royal Family, had been broadcast in the US.

GMB host Piers Morgan was incensed by the interview and launched a scathing attack on the couple, questioning their credibility and at one point referring to Harry as "the bloke that she's sleeping with".

In a statement on Twitter, Ofcom said: "We have launched an investigation into Monday's episode of Good Morning Britain under our harm and offence rules.

"As of 14:00 on Tuesday 9 March, we have received 41,015 complaints about the programme."

Tempers continued to boil over on today's edition of GMB and, having been challenged by colleague Alex Beresford about the ferocity of his comments, Morgan stormed out of the studio live on air.
