Ben Stokes 'uncomfortable' as Piers Morgan fawns over him in cringey GMB interview

Piers Morgan was delighted today as he was joined by cricket legend Ben Stokes today - unfortunately, Ben didn't appear to be quite as excited to see him.

The 28-year-old, who helped England triumph and win the Cricket World Cup on Sunday, appeared on Good Morning Britain alongside Susanna Reid.

At the beginning of the interview, Ben joked that today was the first day he had been sober.

But during the half and hour-long interview, Ben appeared to grow increasingly awkward as cricket fan Piers continued to gush about him being a hero.

And GMB fans were quick to notice that Ben really didn't seem to want to be there, quipping that he should get a restraining order against Piers.

One tweeted: "How awkward and uncomfortable does Ben Stokes look #GMB."

While another commented: "Ben Stokes looking embarrassed by @piersmorgan pathetic sycophantic tripe #GMB."

A third remarked: "#GMB PIERS GIVE BEN STOKES A BREAK you are genuinely embarrassing the lad."

"Bet Ben Stokes can't wait to get off ............................ #GMB," another wrote.

One commented: "Poor Ben Stokes seems really embarrassed! #GMB."

Another joked: "Ben is thinking of moving back to New Zealand, getting Piers a restraining order, change his number and maybe his name after leaving the studio cause of Piers lol #gmb."

"Why does Ben look so unaffected and bored this morning?! Maybe he doesn’t agree with the ‘hero’ label either ‍♀️ #gmb," one suggested.

A fan quipped: "Is Ben Stokes hanging or does he just not want to be there? #GMB."

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
