BRITs 2019: Jack Whitehall's racy joke about Little Mix's performance becomes Ofcom's MOST complained about moment of the awards
Jack Whitehall's racy joke about Little Mix's performance during the 2019 Brits has become Ofcom's most complained about TV moment of the awards.
The comedian's gag about scatter cushions during Wednesday's awards ceremony at the 02 attracted 25 of the 38 complaints the show received.
After Little Mix performed a steamy routine to hit song Woman Like Me, Jack, 30, said: 'Raunchy! Dads up and down the country are awkwardly fumbling for a scatter cushion right now.'
A further eight complained about Little Mix's sultry performance, which saw them don eye-popping PVC outfits.
An Ofcom spokesman said: 'We will assess these complaints before deciding whether or not to investigate.' Jack invoked the ire of Piers Morgan during the awards, leading the presenter to slam Little Mix for laughing when Jack fat-shamed him on the ITV show.
Piers, 54, tweeted: 'Shocked & disappointed to see @LittleMix LAUGH as @jackwhitehall fat-shames me on national television.
'It's just this kind of public negative body image mockery that the same @LittleMix campaigned against & of which I am now a victim.

BRITs 2019: Jack invoked the ire of Piers Morgan during the awards when he made a comment about the presenter during a chat with Little Mix, leading the presenter to slam the band for laughing
Eek! The girls laughed but didn't comment when Jack said: 'Piers Morgan. He didn't like that picture where you stripped off naked which is weird because four chins and voluptuous breasts - it must have been like looking in the mirror' He then said to Jesy, 27: 'What would you say to that dusty wasteman?' as the girls giggled awkwardly and placed their hands over their mouths.
Jesy didn't rise to the bait, but simply yelled out, 'Jack!'
But while the girls had nothing to say, it wasn't enough for Piers who was upset that they had laughed.
He also tweeted: 'And as for chins, at least I've got some, you chinless little weed @jackwhitehall. #BRITS.' Piers slammed the pop band last year for stripping off for a photoshoot for their music video, Strip, which was intended to promote body confidence.
He said: 'They're stripping off to sell albums, that's what it's about.
'The rest of it is baloney. They don't have any flaws, they've been airbrushed to look perfect.
'They're fake. There's not a mark on them. You can't even see the surgery.'
Not impressed: Piers felt as though their response wasn't in keeping with their views on empowerment and body confidence
