Today’s Good Morning Britain saw a cringeworthy moment between Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid as he claimed she “fat shamed” him.
Susanna, 49 and Piers, 55, were discussing how Morgan’s local McDonald’s had once again opened, much to the delight of the ITV host.
Piers said: “Very quickly, I know you’ve all been worried, but finally the wait was over.
“Here we are, Wandsworth Bridge McDonalds drive-through at the weekend, boom.
“Big Mac, large fries. Tasted delicious, first one in four months.”
Susanna made a cheeky jibe at Piers after he shared his news, jokingly saying: “Thanks so much for putting us all out of our misery, not so much that the wait was over as the weight was piled on apparently…”

Piers shot back at his co-host, saying: “Thank you again for fat shaming me.”
This isn’t the first time Piers has accused Susanna of “fat shaming” him as in a GMB episode in September last year, he claimed she did it “on a weekly basis”.
As Susanna said fat-shaming was wrong, Piers hit back saying: “You do it to me on a weekly basis, you literally do it to me all the time.”

He did however say that he agrees with it sometimes as when he and his brothers regularly “poke the bear” by telling each other they need to lose weight, it can motivate him on to shed the pounds.
Also on today’s GMB, Susanna apologised to Piers after the presenting duo suffered an awkward on-air mistake.

The blunder saw Susanna say Sorry to her co-host after she accidentally spoke over when the ITV show came back after an ad break.
She began to read the time as Piers also spoke, leaving the duo forced to stop and start the television link again.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
