Piers Morgan attacks 'shattered remains of BBC Breakfast' in shock hammer outburst
PIERS MORGAN took a swipe at Good Morning Britain rivals BBC Breakfast in a violent outburst on the show this morning.
Piers Morgan SMASHES mug given as gift by BBC ‘enemy’
The presenter revealed that their editor Neil had "went behind enemy lines" and visited the BBC studios, where he was gifted a mug.
"He went out there to see his mates at BBC Breakfast," Piers explained. "And this is the special little mug that they gave him."
Holding up the white cup, which was decorated with the iconic BBC Breakfast logo, the father-of-four then threatened to break it.
"In the spirit of Christmas, why don't we just do this?" he teased as he pulled a hammer out from beneath the news desk.
His co-hosts Susanna Reid and Charlotte Hawkins could be heard gasping and asking: "Do we need to save the mug?"
But their attempts to stop Piers fell on deaf ears as he leapt out of his seat and placed the mug on the floor before smashing it to pieces.
"I did to their mug what we've been doing to their ratings all year," the 52-year-old laughed.
"They are the shattered remains of BBC Breakfast. My festive thoughts to our rivals over there."
While Piers was more than happy to mock their BBC rivals, asking: "Who are they?" Susanna hit back: "Well, people who you invite to your Christmas party I would like to point out."
The heated moment came before Piers lashed out at I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! evictee Kezia Dugdale after she chose not to appear on the show.
Slamming her decision to head Down Under, he raged: "Get back to your damn constituency and do your job."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
