Piers Morgan left Good Morning Britain viewers spitting out their breakfast cereal after he suggested he might get a rude word inked across his forehead.
The controversial host has been obsessively discussing tattoos on the ITV show for the past two days, after he said teachers should not have body art to be taken seriously.
Naturally, his words upset a lot of viewers, and one got in touch with the show to suggest Piers should get a tattoo live on-air.
Piers, 55, asked if he should have the word “legend” tattooed across his forehead, while co-host Susanna Reid suggested: “Something else.”

Not missing a beat, Piers spat out “b***end” before grasping his mouth in shock, while Susanna looked completely caught off guard, adding: “You said it!”
He quickly explained: “I like saying that because everyone goes, ‘Oh, that’s outrageous!’ and they literally call me that all day long.”
Viewers were quick to pick up on the comedy moment, rushing to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One GMB fan tweeted: “I think that would be a great thing to tattoo on your head, Piers!”
Another laughed: “Just spat coffee in my cornflakes.”
A third wrote: “Literally crying laughing at Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid this morning! Please don’t tattoo b***end on your forehead Piers!”
And a fourth viewer quipped: “Piers, no tattoo needed, we already knew.”
Moments earlier, Piers asked resident doctor Hilary Jones if he had any secret tattoos he wanted to reveal.
Dr Hilary quipped: “No, I am more of an intimate body piercing many myself.”
Piers was left in hysterical laughter, scrunching his face up as he struggled to continue with presenting the ITV show.
But Dr Hilary asked with a straight face: “What’s funny about that?”

The whole debate started after Piers said teachers shouldn’t have tattoos, after a headteacher – who had body art on his arms – replaced the names of school houses.
Originally, the houses at Howden Junior School had been named after the likes of Admiral Nelson and Francis Drake, but have been replaced by more modern role models such as Marcus Rashford and Greta Thunberg.
Piers said: “People say ‘Why bang on about his tattoos?’ I am sorry but when I was at school, you couldn’t have a headteacher with a bunch of tattoos.
“It just shows a lack of standards, Lord Nelson wouldn’t have allowed it.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
