As far as I know, touches will pass through to the cell if you use a UILabel, and if you use a UITextView which has no scrolling. Use NSString's method sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode: to figure out the size you need the UILabel to be to see all of the text and change the size of your UITableViewCell accordingly with tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:

Why not use a custom-type UIButton instead of a UILabel?

There are a lot of words, UIButton is not suitable, I think.

Whats the reasoning behind the UIButton not being a suitable replacement, if you set its style to custom it appears just as a label.

I will try.

Set the label's userInteractionEnabled flag to YES.

Attach a tap gesture recognizer.

Have the tap gesture recognizer send a message to the view controller.
