Piers Morgan has been slapped with 52 complaints from viewers via Ofcom following comments he made on Good Morning Britain last week.
The Marmite presenter cheekily offended two viewers after he asked Carol Vorderman to dress up in a maths teacher uniform as she discussed her initiative to help educate kids in need during coronavirus lockdown.
Piers’ suggestive remark came as Carol divulged her plan to launch a maths ‘school’ for grown-ups on YouTube.

“Now you’re talking, are you going to wear a mathematical uniform for this?” the 55 year old quipped.
“One of the ones adults might enjoy, you know Carol?”
Carol appeared to take the comment in her typical good humour.
She later joked: “I’ll tell you what I am not going to do, Piers, which is probably what you would like me to do, it’s teach you how to write ‘boobs’ on a calculator.”
Piers concluded with a twinkle in his eye that he would still definitely be tuning in.
Media watch body Ofcom has confirmed that it is investigating complaints made against the former newspaper editor.
