COMIC Jo Brand has been cleared by the BBC Trust over a gag in which she claimed “Lady Thatcher” sounded like a pubic hair removal device.
The body also decided not to uphold complaints about 52-year-old Jo’s quips about incontinence which she made on the same QI show earlier this year. One viewer claimed the jokes were ageist and sexist.
Controller Jay Hunt said the comments were not poking fun at the former Prime Minister, just her name, and the jokes about incontinence were deemed as “editorially justified”.
