Susanna Reid was quick to put Piers Morgan in his place on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain, when he leaked the ending of a film.
The 55-year-old GMB star, who recently released his new book Wake Up, was thrilled to receive a Top Gun-inspired golden helmet in the post.
Sent by supermarket chain Aldi, the gift was a thank you to Piers for being the “wing man” of the nation throughout the pandemic.
Overjoyed with the swish golden gift, Piers admitted Top Gun was one of his favorite films, revealing he always wanted to look like Tom Cruise’s character Maverick.
Recounting the film, Piers then revealed one of the major characters – Goose – died before the credits rolled.

LTJG Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, played by Anthony Edwards, died in the film after ejecting from his flight seat, leaving his best pal Maverick devastated.
Her eyes widening, Susanna flung her arm out and shouted: “Er, spoiler alert!”
Piers, however, brushed her off and insisted that “everyone” has already seen Top Gun.
Delighted with his gift, Piers recalled: “There’s that moment at the end with Maverick and Ice Man after they go to war and they take out the enemy in the skies.”

He continued: “It’s like the biggest bromance of all time.
“So being a wing man either as Maverick or Goose or Ice Man, Viper, any of them really. It’s been a dream.
“And then I get this in my dressing room this morning! There’s a new wing man in town.”
Along with Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield and Joe Wicks, Piers was voted one of the UK’s most beloved celebs during the pandemic in the Aldi survey.
Announcing the win, Aldi said: “In his constant ambition for public adoration, it seems Piers Morgan may have finally won over the hearts of the nation.
“At seventh place, Piers’ barrage of tweets to government ministers and through his GMB platform, he became the mouthpiece for many of the nation’s frustrations during this extraordinary period.”
Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays at 6am on ITV.
