Ryan Tubridy and Late Late Show viewers fascinated as he gets to the bottom of how Piers Morgan and Donald Trump fell out

Ryan Tubridy was left stunned after he got the inside scoop as to why broadcaster Piers Morgan fell out with his old friend Donald Trump.

The veteran TV star sat down with Tubs on the Late Late Show on Friday where the pair got a chance to tease out why Piers' relationship with the US president had fallen apart.

The Good Morning Britain presenter had previously been a big supporter of Donald Trump and often referred to him as a friend.

However the friendship has since soured after Piers slammed the president for his handling of the coronaviurs pandemic.

Speaking to Piers Tubs asked: "The last time we spoke, you were friends with Donald Trump...something happened...?"

Piers replied: "Well, he went a bit crazy didn't he with this pandemic, and unfortunately, it drew all the very worst of Donald Trump out and I got increasingly angry with him, eventually, when he suggested we inject bleach into ourselves to cure coronavirus, wrote a column."

Morgan went on to tell how he wrote a column for the Daily Mail in which he was very outspoken against Trump's views, once he felt would "get people killed".

"He unfollowed me overnight,"

"I just feel like his behaviour, his leadership in this pandemic has been utterly woeful and it has drawn out the very worst of Trump.

"Back in January I would have said he was a shoe-in for re-election.

"Now I feel that it's the other way, that Americans and the rest of the world frankly are just exhausted by the Trump circus."

Piers went on to echo that criticism for Boris Johnson and the UK government saying Johnson could rival Trump in his incompetence.

"I think Boris Johnson has been an utter shambles.

"He's probably the only world leader who can rival Donald Trump for ineptitude in how he has handled the pandemic.

"That's why the UK has the worst death toll in Europe, comfortably, it's why it has the worst economic record through the pandemic in Europe, and why I have genuine fears about what is going to happen next. Boris, I'm afraid, has been exposed as a blustering, blathering buffoon."
