Lorraine Kelly's savage jibe at Piers Morgan after 'fat' debate

Lorraine Kelly landed a savage jibe on Piers Morgan today on Good Morning Britain, following a debate about fat shaming.

Before they went to speak to Lorraine about what was coming up on her show, Piers and Susanna had chaired a debate about if the saying "it's not over until the fat lady sings" is offensive.

Piers went on a rant about "snowflakes" saying they needed to get a grip and should lose weight if they were overweight.

He told Susanna he appreciated it when his friends told him he "needed to lose a bit of timber" and said it motivated him to go to the gym.

After the debate Piers and Susanna chatted to Lorraine and she told Piers he was "being naughty" on the show today.

Piers then went to continue his rant, but Lorraine cut him off and said: "You're not as fat as you used to be though."

Susanna and Charlotte burst into laughter and Piers said: "I mean I wasn't exactly obese." and Lorraine continued: "No but you were chubby."

Piers was stunned and said: "Gosh I've been Lorraine'd, I now know how Esther Mcvey and Jennifer Arcuri felt."

Earlier this year Lorraine took a swipe at Jennifer Arcuri after her "tell all" interview on GMB.

As the show was just about to hand over to Lorraine to ask the Scottish host what was coming up on her show, she was heard making a jibe, so Piers asked her to repeat it.

While Jennifer was still on air, Lorraine said: "God, that was crazy, wasn't it? What's the point? Coming on and not answering any questions?

"What's the point in you coming on air to clear the air and not saying anything."

Jennifer said: "I'm sorry?"

Lorraine said: "You didn't answer any of the questions put to you, I don’t see the point of you being on... anyway."

Piers and Susanna were left stunned by Lorraine's outburst, likening the situation to when she came to blows with Esther McVey earlier this year.

*GMB continues at 6am on ITV tomorrow
