Piers Morgan hits back at GMB replacement Sean Fletcher following joke about weight

Even on days off, Piers Morgan can't resist getting into a spat with one of his colleagues.

The Good Morning Britain presenter rose to the bait when his holiday replacement Sean Fletcher made a crack about the former Daily Mirror editor's weight.

Sean made his debut in the Good Morning Britain presenter's chair this week, while Piers was in France - before a mad dash back to Britain to make sure he could beat the quarantine rules imposed on those returning from across the Channel.

Sean shared a picture on Twitter of himself in the studio with co-host Charlotte Hawkins. In it, Sean is wearing a red tie, which he joked about stealing from Piers' wardrobe.

Sean tweeted: "Really enjoyed working with @CharlotteHawkns and @alexberesfordTV on @gmb this week.

"FYI my red tie is from @piersmorgan’s wardrobe, so it normally fits around a slightly larger neck - that’s why it kept loosening."

Piers couldn't let the jibe go, and replied with his own gag.

The 55-year-old tweeted: "Shame you can’t borrow my much larger ratings too."

Sean sniped back: "21.3% for me and @CharlotteHawkns on Thursday’s @gmb@piersmorgan. Not a bad share with no promo/social media campaign."
