Itv good morning britain: piers morgan furious over nta gaffe

Piers Morgan, 53, and Susanna Reid, 48, were delighted when Good Morning Britain was nominated for the Best Daytime Show at the NTA’s, which will take place this evening. The ITV presenter

has gone to extreme lengths in hope viewers would vote for the programme, including promising he would turn vegan for a week, having expressed his strong opinions on veganism in the past.

However, it wasn’t viewers votes playing on Piers’ mind this morning as he, Susanna and Charlotte Hawkins, 43, got a glimpse of some of the backstage action. Being shown where he would be

sat for the evening, Piers aired strong disappointment over a photo which had been used to receive his seat. Speaking to Richard Arnold, 49, who was reporting live from the venue, Piers made

reference to how different his image was to that of This Morning host Phillip Schofield, 56. The GMB host said: “That’s what ITV does to me right. We finally get up for a big award…

Schofield; happy, smily, nice, voteable. “Me; serial killer. Opened mouthed, horror struck, serial killer. This is what ITV do to us,” Piers ranted. When Piers and Susanna returned to

Richard later on in the show, it was clear the image was playing on the presenter's mind. With Richard holding Piers’ picture up, the host commented: “Making look like a serial killer

why don’t you. “Look at that. Unbelievable. Everyone else has a happy smily face,” Piers went on to add before Richard made a joke about the pair spending some time in a steam room the day

before. Explaining that would be the reason his face looked as it did on the picture, Piers replied: “That was the face after I realised you were sitting there.” However, Piers’ face wasn’t

the only rife the host had about the reservation markers as he, Susanna and Charlotte Hawkins, 43, noticed some of their colleagues names were spelt incorrectly. Telling Piers his

reservation marker was better than others, Charlotte added: “At least they spell your name right. Wait until they get to Kate [Garraway].” After seeing Kate’s, 51, name was spelt

incorrectly, Piers remarked: “Well they spelt her name wrong. “Fantastic, fantastic. This is really going well.” Ben Shephard’s name was also spelt wrong, as Susanna commented: “Please don’t

say they’ve spelt Shepherd with an ‘E’,” but soon realised Ben’s surname was missing an ‘H’. Piers did take a swipe at Charlotte earlier on in the programme, saying she hadn’t won an award

in her life but made a dig about her Strictly Come Dancing partner Brendan Cole, 42, who left the BBC dance show after competing with Charlotte in 2017. “Hawkins, I don’t want to burst your

bubble but you’ve never won anything ever. So, the idea you’re going to presenter of the year here…” Piers said with Charlotte quickly interjecting to say she’d won a BAFTA. Piers continued:

“The only award you’ve won this year is ending Brendan Cole’s career.” Brendan parted ways with the BBC show in early 2017, after the broadcaster decided not to renew this contract the

professional dancer told Lorraine Kelly, 59. On yesterday’s edition of GMB, Piers Morgan hit out at Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner, 47, after he clashed with Gemma Collins, 37, on

Sunday’s show. _GOOD MORNING BRITAIN AIRS WEEKDAYS AT 6AM ON ITV._
