Piers Morgan taken OFF-AIR after criticising Good Morning Britain boss

Piers Morgan is not one to shy away from controversy, and he certainly didn't hold back on Good Morning Britain on Monday! The 54-year-old decided to call out the show's director Erron Gordon, revealing that he had taken offence to comments Erron had made on social media. "We've got our director back today, Erron. Last week he directed the big debate and then he tweeted that it was his career highlight," Piers told viewers. "So his career highlight doesn’t involve the people he works with every day… It's alright, we're not taking it personally."

Piers' image was then abruptly replaced by a screen stating that the show was suffering from 'technical difficulties'. Clearly unimpressed, Piers joked: "Technical difficulties? There'll be directorial difficulties, trust me."
