A guest host for ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain has taken a swipe at permanent presenter Piers Morgan.
Actor and comedian Adil Ray appeared on BBC topical panel show Have I Got News For You when he made the jibe at Piers.
The 45-year-old has often stood in for Piers on GMB and said: "You know what the best thing about standing in for Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain is that you don't have to meet Piers Morgan."
The audience laughed, but one viewer at home didn't take kindly to the remarks and took to Twitter with a savage reply.
Piers, himself, happened to be watching the programme and said: "My occasional @GMB stand-in Adil Ray on @haveigotnews: ‘The best thing about filling in for Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain is you don’t have to meet Piers Morgan!’
"For my part, the best thing about Adil filling in for me is he always tanks the ratings..."
But he failed to tag in the OBE Adil who is has not responded to Piers.
Adil is perhaps best known for his work on comedy Citizen Khan and spots on BBC radio stations. His services to broadcast was honoured in the queen's birthday honours list in 2016.
