Phillip Schofield makes dig at Piers Morgan for storming off GMB amid Meghan debate

Phillip Schofield took aim at Piers Morgan for storming off the Good Morning Britain set during a heated debate over Meghan and Harry.

While welcoming This Morning viewers to the show earlier, Phillip made a dig towards his fellow ITV co-star after he walked off live on air as co-presenter Alex Beresford called his remarks about Meghan Markle "diabolical".

Opening the show, Phil jokingly said: "Careful what you say today! I may get up and I may storm off!"

Holding in her laughter, Holly replied: Don't you dare!"

"I might get up and go," Phil added.

A giggling Holly then said: "Well, I'll be very nice to you today!"

"What a morning, eh!" Phil quipped.

Quickly changing the subject, Holly shrugged before telling viewers: "Welcome to your Tuesday's This Morning."

During today's episode of GMB, Alex Beresford went all in at Piers Morgan following a feud they had on Twitter yesterday.

"They've had an overwhelming amount of negative press." He said.

"You know, I watched the programme yesterday and, yes, they had some great press around the wedding, but what press is going to trash someone's special day?

"There was bad press around the engagement before the engagement, and everything that has followed since has been incredibly damaging, quite clearly, to Meghan's mental health and also to Harry.

"And I hear Piers say William has gone through the same thing but, do you know what, siblings experience tragedy in their life and one will be absolutely fine and brush it off and the other will not be able to deal with it so strongly and that is clearly what has happened with Harry in this situation.

"He walked behind his mother's coffin at a tender, tender age in front of the globe.

"That is going to shape a young boy for the rest of his life, so I think we all need to take a step back.

"And I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle, you've made it so clear a number of times on this programme..."

"And I understand you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one and she cut you off.

"She's entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don't think she has but yet you continue to trash her..."

Piers stood up and said: "OK, I'm done with this" and walked off set, saying: "Sorry, no... sorry, can't do this..."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
