Good Morning Britain viewers were horrified at 'disgusting' comments made about darts star Luke Littler by host Adil Ray.
Fans said Adil should be 'ashamed' as he was accused of 'fat-shaming' the 17-year-old with cruel comments about his appearance and diet.
Discussing the sports news on Thursday's show, coverage of Luke's 5-2 defeat over Nathan Aspinall that secured him a place in the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship was aired. Adil then warned viewers he was about to say something that 'might not be very popular.' He continued:
"I'm a little bit worried about Littler. He's 17 and he's turning into the look of a darts player. Look at him! He's admitting to having pizzas before a match. I'd be a bit worried," he added.
Kate Garraway then said Adil need not be worried about Luke as he's 'so successful.' Doubling down, Adil replied: "He's going to get more successful and he can keep on doing it... but I don't want him to get too unhealthy."
To lighten the mood, Kate suggested Adil visit Luke's dressing room with a carrot to 'see how that goes down.' Adil joked: "Just before the final. Here you go, I've got a salad for you from Pret." While Kate and Adil giggled in the studio, viewers at home claimed to be 'disgusted' by the exchange.
