Christine Bleakley and Philip Schofield discussed ‘nine of the most talked-about products on the market’
Media watchdog Ofcom is investigating ITV’s This Morning over complaints that a segment about bondage was unsuitable to be broadcast before the watershed.
In the item on 3 February, hosts Philip Schofield and Christine Bleakley looked at bondage equipment and sex toys with “sex expert” Annabelle Knight.
Ofcom said it received 120 complaints about the item, which was inspired by the film Fifty Shades of Grey.
Product demonstrations with scantily clad models featured in the piece.
A “Bondage for Beginners” segment examined products including an eye mask, a “feather spanker” and a crystal-encrusted vibrator.
Ofcom is also investigating a scene on ITV’s Emmerdale involving a character being sexually assaulted, which drew 47 complaints following its broadcast on Thursday.
