ITV's Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard was forced to issue a correction on the show today after journalist Quentin Letts' "unbelievable" comments sparked uproar with viewers. During a discussion about the recent allegations that an MP had watched porn in the House of Commons, Quentin played "devil's advocate" but his comments backfired with GMB fans.
The journalist, who appeared on GMB on Thursday (April 28), said Parliament is a "extremely boring place" and "not exactly like a church" when discussing the recent reports. Viewers reacted saying he was "justifying" watching pornography in the workplace.
"If I can just play devil's advocate for a second," Quentin said: "I'd say, first of all, if you've ever been in the House of Commons it's an extremely boring place. I think it would be wrong for viewers to think that parliamentarians are constantly thinking about great matters of state when they're in the House of Commons.
