Channel 4's satirical Christmas special Big Fat Quiz Of The Year has reportedly run into trouble over a string of risque jokes cracked by guests Jack Whitehall and James Corden. According to reports five viewers have already complained to Ofcom about the show, broadcast on Sunday night, in which the pair became increasingly drunk onscreen and made a string of lewd gags about the Royal Family, Barack Obama and Susan Boyle. And after making one particularly crude gag about the Queen and Prince Philip at the Diamond Jubilee, Whitehall added: "I'm just saying what everybody's thinking." The pair also made gags referring to Susan Boyle and Barack Obama indulging in sexual acts - while singer Carly Rae Jepsen and Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt did not escape unscathed either. Whitehall - who also starred in the hit BBC3 sitcom Bad Education in 2012 - later admtited on Twitter he and Corden had "got so, so drunk" while filming the show. A spokesman for Channel 4 said that the comments on the pre-recorded show had been cleared prior to broadcast and added that warnings about the content had been given on air beforehand. He added: "Big Fat Quiz Of The Year is a well-established comedic and satirical review of the year's events with well-known guests and is broadcast after the watershed with appropriate warnings." A spokesperson for Corden added: "James would never want to offend anyone and is sorry if his comments have been taken out of the context they were made in."
