Piers Morgan has been cleared by Ofcom for 'combative' interviews with government ministers during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Good Morning Britain presenter attracted more than 3,000 complaints for two interviews with care minister Helen Whately earlier this month.

Almost 600 viewers also complained about another interview with Health Secretary Matt Hancock on April 16. In a statement, Ofcom said Morgan is "well-known for his combative interviewing style" and viewers would expect him to challenge senior politicians.
