Piers Morgan silenced by Susanna Reid’s epic take down as she reveals plans to ‘defriend’ him

Susanna Reid gave Piers Morgan a roasting on Good Morning Britain after he unwittingly set himself up.

Morgan, 52, was moaning about friends and family members who publicise their political views on Facebook, revealing that he has even gone as far as deleting people from his account over the habit.

Venting his frustration he said: “I get annoyed with people when they start banging on about politics on Facebook. I’ve had to unfriend family members. I need some respite.

“Can’t you just put a picture of your little kid having an ice cream or doing a cartwheel?”

Morgan, clearly too busy going off on one, failed to notice his exasperated co-star mocking his rant by laughing.

In an attempt to cut him off, Reid jumped in: “I know what you mean. When someone keeps going on and on and on and you just need respite and a break.

“And you just wish you could defriend them but you’re just forced every day to listen to their views. I know exactly how you feel.”

Morgan looked taken aback by the take down as Reid moved swiftly on to discussing Wednesday’s front pages.

Viewers praised Reid with one tweeting: “Piers Morgan was owned! Well done Susanna Reid I don't know how you can work with that fool next to you! (sic).”

Another posted: “Piers face when he realised she wasn't going to miss the chance to put the ball in the empty net was priceless.”

Good Morning Britain is on ITV weekdays at 6am.
