Good Morning Britain was not in breach of the broadcasting code over Piers Morgan’s controversial comments about Meghan Markle, which sparked more than 50,000 complaints, Ofcom has said.

The regulator said Morgan’s comments were “potentially harmful and offensive” but said it also “took full account of freedom of expression”.
