This Morning fans have gone to Ofcom to complain about adult worker Bonnie Blue's controversial career during an appearance on the daytime show.
The broadcasting watchdog operator has confirmed that they received 188 reports from viewers of the ITV show which aired last Tuesday (November 26).
Presenters Cat Deeley and Andi Peters welcomed the content creator onto the famous blue sofa to discuss her explicit content which quickly sparked outrage from fans online.
The 25-year-old revealed on the ITV daytime show that she records herself engaging in sexual activities with teenagers who have recently turned 18 and uploads the videos online.
After facing widespread condemnation and being branded a "predator" on social media, the influencer has been barred from entering Australia and expelled from Fiji for attempting to enlist young men, which she refers to as "barely legal".
Bonnie, whose previous employment was in recruitment, described her previous professional life as unremarkable. Andi informed the viewers at the time that her current earnings exceed £600,000 per month.
While initially motivated by financial gain, Bonnie admitted: "I didn't understand the educational side of things, so yeah, it started off purely about money.
"But as I got into it and as I educated myself on the industry, not only did I realise how much pleasure I received from it but also how much there's a missing gap on educational content online."
However, Ashley James didn't mince her words when it came to expressing her thoughts on the issue. While acknowledging that many people are aware of gender double standards, the ITV guest pinpointed the main problem as Bonnie's use of phrases like "barely legal".
When Bonnie told Ashley that the media first used that term, Ashley retorted: "But you also now use that terminology. You also say that you're educating but I'm wondering who are you educating? A lot of your audience especially on TikTok are teenagers."
Questioning the message she's disseminating, Ashley also revealed other controversial phrases Bonnie had across her adult career. Bonnie simply responded: "I'll educate you on the 'true' story of it.
"There is no content online for 18-year-olds or even people who are new to sex. You go from school where you learn about how to get pregnant basically, how to have safe sex. Then they go from watching content online which is rough."
the segment on the ITV show sparked a flurry of mixed reactions from viewers who quickly voiced their opinions on social media. One viewers expressed their disapproval with: "Get her off this is an ALL time low for #ThisMorning and I am truly shocked they think this is what people want to watch in the morning."
Someone else agreed: "Whoever invited Bonnie Blue on This Morning" as another echoed: "C'mon @thismorning out of all the 'influencers' in the world you get BONNIE BLUE as a guest."
However, one fan defended Bonnie, tweeting: "This Bonnie Blue is just a business woman. She's breaking no laws all the men consent to the stuff being uploaded. She's doing nothing illegal."
This Morning airs on weekdays from 10am on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
