Piers Morgan fuming after he's slammed in Corrie by 'impertinent little twerp' Seb

Piers Morgan was left fuming after he was made fun of in Coronation Street last night.

Soap fans were left in hysterics after Seb Franklin took a swipe at the former Good Morning Britain host in a chat with Roy Cropper at the cafe.

The character, played by Harry Visinoni, noticed Roy seemed a bit distracted and asked "Everything ok?" and Roy replied: "May I be candid with you?"

Seb then responded: "Yeah, you can be whoever you like, as long as it's not Piers Morgan because he does my nut in!"

It didn't go unnoticed by the man himself, and Piers shared a video of the moment on his Twitter page - calling Seb an "impertinent little twerp".

Piers wrote: "Who’s this impertinent little twerp???? ⁦ @itvcorrie."

Piers' Twitter followers then responded to the post, with one writing: "Too much time on your hands if you're watching Coronation Street."

Another added: "You know you love it really," while a third chimed in: "Fame at last Piers."

However, Corrie viewers were left giggling over the remark in last night's episode, with one tweeting: "I will forgive Seb's hair now that he's called out Piers Morgan #Corrie,"while another added: "So true of seb to slate piers morgan like that #corrie (sic)."

"'As long as it’s not Piers Morgan, he does my nut in’ If ever there was a line that I identify with!!!! #corrie," a third viewer tweeted.

Following Seb's dig, Roy went on to discuss his relationship with his niece Nina and decided to give Seb some advice.

"As a rule, I actively avoid interference in my niece’s personal life. I mention this so that you understand what I’m about to say isn’t said lightly,

" Roy began.

"You think I'm bad for her, don't you?" Seb quickly replied.

"I find you an increasingly positive influence in her life. I worry that you might be getting ahead of yourself," Roy continued.

"In what way?" Seb said, to which Roy told him: "Well, the engagement ring comment for one thing. I make no judgement, I simply urge you not to rush things with Nina.

"Asha made a similar error and I wouldn't wish for your relationship to take the same path," Roy then warned.
