WATCH: Piers Morgan swears on Good Morning Britain and is reprimanded by Susanna Reid
PIERS MORGAN turned the air blue on Good Morning Britain today when he swore while talking about Prince Charles.
Susanna Reid Tells Piers Morgan Off For 'Swearing'
The broadcaster and his co-host Susanna Reid were discussing a new documentary exploring the 40th anniversary of the Prince’s Trust when he said “b****king” and received a brief telling-off.
He said: “[Charles] sends William and Harry these notes in his famous spidery handwriting and they actually can’t work out what he’s saying - and whether he’s praising them or b*****king them!”

“Excuse your language Piers Morgan at this time in the morning,” Susanna interjected.
“Can you not say that?” he asked. “I’d like to apologise.”
He and Susanna Reid were back on form today

Taking to Twitter soon after, he posted: “Am I going to get a rollicking for saying ‘b*****king? @GMB”.
He also engaged in a playful online war with BBC Breakfast’s latest morning host Dan Walker.
The sports journalist, who usually fronts Football Focus and output for BBC Radio 5 Live, sat beside Louise Minchin on the early morning BBC One show today for the first time.
“Game on @mrdanwalker #SofaWar,” Piers posted, to which Dan responded: “What channel are you on?”
The journalist joined the show last year
Susanna and Piers' partnership has been a big selling point
Piers joined GMB as a permanent member of the presenting team late last year, hosting alongside Susanna on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
After two weeks away it seems some fans are disappointed he’s stayed with the ITV programme into 2016.
“You need to tone it down a bit. Too annoying,” one Twitter user told him, while another wrote: “I stopped watching #GMB the very same morning I first saw Piers Morgan on the sofa. I can't take him.”
Others, meanwhile, called him “hilarious” and said he “brightened up my morning”.
