Piers Morgan has sparked Ofcom complaints once again while presenting Good Morning Britain.
On his final day of presenting the ITV breakfast show before he went on holiday for a lengthy summer break, the 55-year-old controversial star made sure he went out with a bang.
Live on air, Piers impersonated Prime Minister Boris Johnson and slammed Dominic Cummings during a fiery rant on Wednesday, July 8.
The Sun Online claims that Piers received a total of 23 complaints to Ofcom after viewers were left unimpressed with his comments towards the current British government.
Piers comments came after it was revealed NHS staff will have to pay for hospital car parks again despite the pandemic still ongoing.

While mimicking the PM, Piers grunted and shook his head while mocking the way Boris claps.
He raged at the time: “This is how they reward them, isn’t it extraordinary?
“‘The first thing we’re going to do is make you pay to park at hospitals again, make sure they have to pay for the privilege of parking at a hospital’.
“Total shambles.”

During the same episode, Piers didn’t hold back on his opinions towards Boris’ top aide Dominic Cummings, dubbing him as a “rat faced weasel”.
In recent months, Piers hasn’t hidden the fact that he disdains Cummings after he was said to have broken lockdown rules when he drove 260 miles to Durham with his family, including his wife who had symptoms of the deadly virus which has killed over 45,000 people in the UK alone..

After an investigation, Durham police ruled that the PM’s chief advisor did not break coronavirus laws with the trip.
Piers’ remarks shocked viewers at the time, with one tweeting: “Piers Morgan openly called Dominic Cummings a “rat, faced weasel.”
“@GMB still wondering why Tory MPs won’t appear on the show and the public don’t take the media seriously.”
Good Morning Britain continues weekdays on ITV at 6am
