A comment by panellist Katie Piper on Loose Woman has led to a number of Ofcom complaints from ITV viewers.

The watchdog says they received over 60 reports after the presenter's reaction to an image of a "goth baby," reports the Daily Mirror.

During the lunchtime show, the panel featuring Kaye Adams, Katie Piper, Judi Love and Nadia Swahala, chatted about parents imposing their lifestyle choices on children.

The debate happened after one mother turned her entire home into the real life Addams Family following the release of a new Netflix show on Wednesday and has now resulted in 66 complaints to Ofcom.

After watching the clip, Katie could be heard gasping before saying: "I don't like that interior."

She continued: "It's all black and dark. Babies don't like that.

"I'm just going to put it out there - it's giving me satanic vibes, it's giving me bad energy, it's toxic, I don't like it and also it's a baby.

"The cots are tombs. You can't put your baby in a grave."

This comes after the Loose Women stars erupted into a bitter row this week over whether mothers should work from home with toddlers.

As the Loose Women host Ruth Langsford welcomed viewers to the first episode of the panel show this year, she was joined by Carol McGiffin, Brenda Edwards, and Kelle Bryan.

During a discussion on childcare and the workplace controversy was sparked, when a woman admitted that she was planning on caring for her toddler while working from home.

Panellist Carol hit out at the mum's decision and care for her child at the same time, Brenda revealed that she had some sympathy for the mum.

It got heated between the two TV stars until Brenda was forced to clap back at Carol after she assumed that her Loose Women co-star had a go at her own
