ITV Good Morning Britain Piers Morgan makes BBC Breakfast swipe after England victory
Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid found themselves wrapped up in World Cup fever on Good Morning Britain. England stormed to the Quarter Finals after emphatically triumphing over Colombia in a seriously tense round of penalties. And with chants of Three Lions ringing through the nation, Piers couldn’t help but get carried away with celebrations. He spent a large majority of his Good Morning Britain duties gushing over the England team’s performance. Piers was especially proud of Jordan Pickford, who saved two of Colombia’s penalties.
He branded him the “Hand of Jord” following his epic goal-keeping display. However, some Good Morning Britain viewers were keen to get on with the news as opposed to the celebrations. One wrote with a falling asleep gif: “All this talk sport…” Another added: “#GMB give it a rest!! There are other four countries in the UK not just England getting [sick] now. You make us want to lose. Give it a rest!!” A third shared: “What the f**k? We’ve just had adverts, to go back to Piers talk well done England… to more adverts? Not a lot going on then today?”
