Piers Morgan may take a hard line on gun control, but he seems to be significantly more relaxed about swords if his sabre-waving antics on Good Morning Britain on Monday were anything to go by.
To the concern of everyone from co-host Susanna Reid seated next to him to the programme’s health and safety officer, Morgan was able to get his hands on the blade used by Britain’s Got Talent contestant Alexandr Magala in his death-defying routine.
Of course, while Magala has kept audiences enthralled (and in some cases sickened) on the talent show, Morgan had his own suggestion for how to improve his act: “If you really want to please the crowd, just take this out and chop Simon Cowell’s head off.”
