GMB fans praise Trisha Goddard as she shuts down Piers Morgan's racism comments

Good Morning Britain viewers were quick to applaud Trisha Goddard on Monday following her appearance on Good Morning Britain.

Trisha, 63, spoke to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid about the claims made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The couple alleged that a member of the royal family questioned how dark their baby son's skin would be before he was born.

However, Prince Harry refused to confirm who it actually was - and Piers was not happy about it.

The 55-year-old GMB presenter went on to defend the alleged comments and said it was probably "curiosity".

"Sorry, I'm calling this out for what I see it as, which is a ruthless, social climber," he said of former Suits actress Meghan.

"Trisha, final question for you: If you tried to invent a show that had all this, you'd reject it for being too outlandish."

Trisha was quick to respond: "No, actually I wouldn’t. The name of the show would be 'Bullying' Piers and I’m afraid at the moment Piers, you would be the star."

Piers Morgan said he was 'sickened' by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey (ITV)

"Really? Not Meghan Markle who drove out a load of female staff with her bullying? Or does that not count?"

"No, Piers listening to you this morning, I’m saddened. Do you know what I wish for you? I wish for you only wonderful things.

"I hope one of your sons meets a wonderful black woman and marries them and then you will understand."

Piers appeared confused by Trisha's final comment, and replied: "I wouldn’t have a problem with that."

And in true Piers fashion, he made sure he had the final say as he sarcastically said: "Thank you all, especially for the life lecture Trisha!"

But viewers watching at home were chuffed to hear Trisha shutting down Piers.

One person tweeted: "@TrishaGoddard go Trisha, well said, the only objectionable person here is @piersmorgan he really doesn’t have a clue ! A painful watch #goodmorningbritain."

A third added: "I stan Trisha Goddard #GMB #goodmorningbritain," while a fourth said: "Trisha - you tell that man. #goodmorningbritain #bullying."
