Good Morning Britain received a whopping 1,634 Ofcom complaints over a heated argument about XL Bully dogs.
On May 30, presenter Ranvir Singh and Richard Madeley introduced guests Mike Parry and Kay Taiwo on the show to share their opposing views on the controversial dog breed. Mike said he saw no issues with the dogs being put down, which offended Kay and many viewers.
The debate got intense when Richard asked how Mike would go about getting rid of every XL bully in the country. Mike said: “The only legal XL bully dogs in the country are registered. We know where they all are and they should go away.” Kay brought her dog to the ITV studio with her and said Mike “wasn’t making sense”.
She told Mike: “If you’re talking about the size of a dog making you feel afraid, there’s so many dogs you can feel afraid of. And if you’re talking about the purpose of a breed, then you don’t understand the purpose of an XL.” Mike interrupted and yelled: “Why does that dog have jaws that are so strong that they break arms.”

Kay told the furious Mike: “The dog has a muzzle because it’s the law”. Things spiralled even further as both guests shouted at each other. Host Ranvir stepped in and said: “Guys. Kay and Mike. Kay and Mike. It’s the debate that we’re going to keep having, isn’t it? But thank you both for coming here, you represent very different points of view.”
Taking to X, otherwise known as Twitter, viewers were quick to share their fury over the interview. One viewer furiously commented: “To be honest I’d rather see that muzzle on Parry.” Another quipped as both Mike and Kay continued to shout at one another: “I agree but bro stop shouting.” A third echoed: “Why is he shouting?” One final viewer then urged the GMB guests: “NO NEED TO SHOUT, legit had to turn the TV down her volume is three times anyone else.”

Another unhappy viewer called out Good Morning Britain for not giving the debate more on-screen time: “why bother trailing a debate on XL bullies for 3hrs but then only give said debate 5 minutes? During which they both just shout at each other.”
The interview, which received a high number of Ofcom complaints, comes after it became a criminal offence to own the controversial breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate. According to the law, XL Bully owners need to neuter their dogs, microchip them and keep them muzzled and on a lead in public.
Kay and Mike’s argument was about whether the dog breed was dangerous to the point of being euthanised as three separate incidents in the past few weeks have left two boys aged 5 and 15 years old injured and a Hornchurch woman dead.
