A raging Piers Morgan has addressed the Prime Minister directly to warn him that nothing will stop him from holding the government to account amid the coronavirus crisis.
Good Morning Britain co-host Piers has been outspoken in his allegations that government ministers have been boycotting the show - and now has told that he's been forced into unusual methods.
He claimed that he and co-host Susanna Reid will be "sub-interviewing" members of the Cabinet - in other words, listening to their interviews on other outlets and programmes, and responding to what they say.
He's already done it with an interview given by MP Therese Coffey, who discussed the government's approach to testing.
Piers played the interview on his phone, and then accused Ms Coffey of lying.
He took to Twitter to issue a written warning: "Hi @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet - given your outrageous ongoing boycott of @GMB, we will now be sub-interviewing all cabinet minister appearances on other breakfast shows and holding them/you to account that way."
During the "sub-interview" with Therese Coffey, she said: "I recognise that there have only been a handful of days where more than 100,000 people have gone for that test."
Piers, putting his phone away, replied: "Therese Coffey, if you were on our programme, if you had the guts to come on, I would have said to you that there have been no dates - zero, nada, nil.
"What you just said was a lie."
Piers' famous rants have landed him in hot water during the crisis, however, as accusations of bullying have been made and Ofcom complaints piled up.
After an especially heated exchange with care minister Helen Whately, Ofcom was flooded with 1,910 complaints.
The watchdog has since responded: "It is clearly in the public interest that broadcasters are able to hold those making political decisions to account, particularly during a major national crisis, such as the coronavirus pandemic."
Piers has also been forced to jump to his own defence after he was accused of celebrating deaths from the bug.
"I don't celebrate the UK's death toll," he wrote, "I'm horrified by it.
"Each fatality is someone's grandparent, parent, sibling or child. I have three friends who've lost parents to COVID-19, & one whose husband is fighting for his life.
"So respectfully, f**k off."
