Ofcom has now launched an investigation after 41,000 complaints came in as a result of Piers Morgan's comments aimed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. A spokesperson for Ofcom said: "We have launched an investigation into Monday's episode of Good Morning Britain under our harm and offence rules."

The controversy sparked when Piers said he "didn't believe a word" of Meghan's claims that she "didn't want to be alive anymore" in her interview with Oprah that aired last night (March 8).Many have since criticised Piers for his comments, and mental health charity, Mind, have described his comments as "disappointing".Piers has since reflected on his comments and said:

"Let me just state on the record my position about mental illness and on suicide. These are clearly extremely serious things that should be taken extremely seriously, and if someone is feeling that way they should get the treatment and help they need every time."

light of the upcoming investigation, a spokesperson for ITV said:"ITV is committed to mental health and wellbeing and working with our charity partners on Britain Get Talking, which is about encouraging people to talk about their mental health""It is very important that if anyone has suicidal thoughts that they should always speak out and be listened to."More details to follow.
