Piers Morgan has spoken out to deny there are any hard feelings between him and Good Morning Britain doctor Hilary Jones.
The controversial GMB host and telly doctor have been bumping heads recently during live debates, but viewers have been telling Piers he’s been going too harsh on Hilary.
In fact, MPs – such as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock – have been refusing to appear on the show to discuss the coronavirus pandemic, so it appear Piers has been taking his frustrations out on his co-star.
On Thursday’s episode, the GMB duo got into a war of words about testing for Covid-19.

As things seemed to get tense, viewers took to Twitter to complain that Piers was being too harsh.
But he quickly addressed things on-screen and assured fans that they didn’t need to worry about anything.
Piers said: “Getting a few people saying, ‘Stop being so mean to Dr Hilary.'”
Doctor Hilary shook his head as Piers continued: “The problem is your reputation is now so angelic that people think I’m like taking a club a beating up Mother Teresa. That’s the problem.

“But actually, we believe in lovely, vigorous debate here.”
He went on: “He’s got Billy big boy pants, he can take a live debate, he can take being challenged and he gives it back, we move on and we’re fine about it.”
And, right on cue, it wasn’t long before they were at it once again.
Co-host Susanna Reid joked that she was happy to be in between the two of them with enough distance to stick to the social distancing guidelines.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
