Susanna Reid sends 'very best' to Piers Morgan - as Adil Ray stays silent after awkward spat

Susanna Reid sent her "very best" to Piers Morgan as she wished him luck after his last episode of Life Stories - while Adil Ray stayed silent after their awkward spat last month.

Adil took a swipe at Piers in November after mocking his "tantrum" on the ITV show, which saw Piers storm off and later quit GMB in March.

But Piers furiously hit back online, accusing Adil of "destroying" Good Morning Britain's ratings since he left.

Appearing on GMB, Susanna referenced Kate's Life Stories episode with Piers on Sunday, which saw Kate say that Derek is in a "terrible state" after the inflammation passed through his brain.

Susanna said: "I was watching the recording of your Life Stories episode, which of course went out on Sunday."

Kate responded: "You were sitting just behind [my children] and I tried to give you a look to say 'just poke them if they misbehave'!"

"The show was so brilliant. It was so moving - incredible," Susanna said.

Kate replied: "Was it? Oh good!"

"It came with surprises, even from me knowing you so well and having been through this experience!" Susanna said. "And I think, therefore, for the viewers it will have done.

"Particularly what really struck me was you talk about that there's sometimes no communication at all with Derek, even though he's at home. And then, very occasionally, he'll say something very special - like 'I love you', for instance."

Kate continued: "Which is amazing and they're the little moments, aren't they, that you hang on to in between. Which is wonderful to have the chance to do that."

Susanna said: "So it's on ITV for [Piers'] very last Life Stories. He's off to pastures new and we send him all our very best and now you take over!"

Adil remained silent as Kate continued: "Yes, I take over in the new year!"

Opening the show a couple of weeks ago, Adil and Susanna had been discussing MP Stella Creasy, who had been told not to bring her baby into the Parliament chamber.

Adil had turned to Susanna and said: "You’ve presented with some babies over the years, haven’t you? Stormed out and had a bit of a tantrum?"

Susanna cracked up, but Piers was not happy and tweeted: "Hmmm. Given how Mr Ray has helped destroy GMB’s ratings since I left, if I were him I’d probably avoid mocking the guy who took them to record heights..."
