'Good Morning Britain' has disastrous show as guest 'does a Piers Morgan' and quits interview

• British actress Patsy Palmer stormed off during a live "Good Morning Britain" interview.
• Palmer took offense to an on-screen graphic, which described her as an "addict to wellness guru."
• Palmer said she was doing a "real Piers Morgan."

ITV's "Good Morning Britain" was once again left stunned after British actress Patsy Palmer cut short a virtual interview on Wednesday's edition of the show announcing she was doing a "real Piers Morgan" after taking offense to an on-screen strapline, which described her as an "addict to wellness guru."

Palmer, who is best known for her role on the long-running British soap opera "EastEnders," has previously been open about her battles with drug and alcohol addiction but is now a wellness influencer, which she was discussing with co-hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard - who has ostensibly replaced Piers Morgan - when she noticed producers had added the graphic.

"You know what, actually, I don't even want to do this interview because I don't even want to look at what it says at the bottom of the screen," she said in response to the strapline. "So I'm going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan, and just say that it's not okay to have 'addict to wellness guru' at the bottom of the screen."

As both Susanna and Ben tried to apologize for the strapline, Palmer said: "My issues I had years ago, that were talked about by me many, many years ago, and it's over so I'm not going to talk about it," before closing her laptop.

Palmer was, of course, referencing the now-infamous moment when Piers Morgan stormed off the "Good Morning Britain" set during a live broadcast earlier this month after he was challenged about his coverage of Meghan Markle by his colleague Alex Beresford.

Wednesday's broadcast didn't get any easier for Susanna Reid who was told she wasn't Piers Morgan during a separate segment on the show where she was engaged in a heated debate with former British politician Edwina Currie.

The pair were discussing the British government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic when the discussion became increasingly intense and Currie responded to Reid's line of questioning by saying: "Susanna, you're not Piers so give me a chance."

Susanna Reid responded to Currie saying: "Sorry, Edwina it has nothing to do with whether I'm Piers or not" before continuing to debate over the British government's handling of the pandemic.

It was reported earlier this week that "Good Morning Britain" has taken ratings hit since Piers Morgan's exit with the show's average viewership down by 255,700.
