Piers Morgan snaps at Susanna Reid saying 'let me finish' after being cut off on GMB

Piers Morgan snapped at Susanna Reid during a debate on Good Morning Britain, telling her to let him speak.

The TV hosts were discussing a school dropping Admiral Nelson and Francis Drake as house names in favour of Greta Thunberg and Marcus Rashford.

Susanna thought Piers' criticism of the idea was unjustified and called him out for claiming people were ‘ultra-woke icons’.

Susanna said: "Oh come on stop smearing people as 'ultra woke icons'."

Piers responded: "Hang on, can you please let me finish."

Susanna said: "Well you go on, and on, and on, and on."

Piers said: "We've been on air what, 26 minutes, all you've done is interrupt me."

Susanna replied: "All you've done is speak. So when you smear people as ultra woke icons, who are you calling ultra woke?"

Piers said: "Let me explain, just let me finish, otherwise how do people know what we're talking about."

Susanna said: "I don't think anyone is in any doubt about what you're talking about."
