What did Piers say?
The presenter said: “What is going on with the Prime Minister’s hair?
“I know it may seem very trivial, but the rest of us, our wives, our partners, people we’re with, have bothered to get the scissors out and give us a little trim.
“Someone in that house must be able to trim it. Carrie? Carrie Symonds? Could she do it?
“I don’t want the Prime Minister of this country to look like Worzel Gummidge and I don’t really buy the thin hair brushing thing.”
According to The Sun, TV watchdog Ofcom received 397 complaints from viewers in one week.
