Furious Nigel Farage loses temper with Piers Morgan on GMB and says he's 'sinking to gutter'

Nigel Farage lost his temper with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain as the pair became embroiled in a ferocious row live on air.

The right wing politician, 56, appeared on the show to speak about the US election, but things turned sour between the two 'pals' when Piers questioned his opinion on Trump's comment about injecting disinfectant to combat coronavirus.

US President Trump had been slammed by the medical community back in April after appearing to propose injecting disinfectant into the skin.

Piers pointed out the comment and referred to Trump suggestion to inject bleach into the skin.

But Nigel was furious over the comment and demanded that Piers "grow up" and "stop talking utter rubbish".

He went on to accuse Piers of "sinking to the gutter" and branded the interview the "lowest grade interview" he'd done in 20 years.

"[Trump] didn't talk about the word bleach," Nigel raged. "We are talking about the person who is going to become the leader of the western world."

"I don't think the president standing there and instructing people to inject bleach [is good]," Piers responded and when Nigel continued to insist that he hadn't said bleach, the clip of Trump was replayed.

Piers pointed out that disinfectant was bleach and Nigel continued to repeat that he hadn't emphatically said bleach.

Nigel snapped: "I'm not surprised that your viewers are going down."

Susanna Reid jumped in, pointing out: "They're not going down, they're going up! That's fake news!"

"This is the lowest grade interview I've done in 20 years," Nigel fumed. "I've got better things to do than this.

"Piers, play your silly games!"

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
