Complaints relating to Susanna Reid's interview with Boris Johnson on Good Morning Britain have been assessed but will not be pursued, Ofcom has said.
Some 98 complaints, relating to due impartiality, were received by the media watchdog about the interview on ITV which saw Susanna challenge the Prime Minister on a broad range of subjects, notably the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. The interview, broadcast from 10 Downing Street on May 3, also saw Susanna, 51, ask the Tory leader why he would not resign over the partygate scandal, breaking the law and following accusations that he misled Parliament.
An Ofcom spokesperson said: "We assessed complaints about this interview with the Prime Minister.

"We found he was given sufficient opportunity to put across the Government's position, and the strong line of questioning was in keeping with regular viewers' expectations of interviews with political figures on this programme."
The interview, which marked Mr Johnson's first full appearance on the ITV breakfast show since 2017 when he was foreign secretary, also made headlines after he asked Susanna "Who's Lorraine?"
As the interview ended, Susanna referenced ITV's Lorraine, which airs after GMB, to which Mr Johnson asked: "Who's Lorraine?"
Susanna fired back: "Who's Lorraine? Lorraine is a legend!"
Presenter Lorraine Kelly, 62, later said she did not expect the Prime Minister to know who she is.
