Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that bring the most joy—the smell of a freshly blooming wild flower on a spring day; a cup of coffee in the early morning hours; notorious blowhard Piers Morgan trying to make fun of someone on TV and inadvertently embarrassing himself instead.
This last pleasure is not uncommon and, shocking nobody who’s caught highlights of the British presenter’s career, has just happened again. On a recent episode of Good Morning Britain, Morgan was faced with cast members of reality show Love Island. Presumably so appalled by the idea of having to lower his usually high interview standards to their level, Morgan decided to mock one of the guests.
Choosing Hayley Hughes (who, to be fair, apparently doesn’t know what Brexit is, or the difference between a county and a country) as his target, Morgan decided to do a bit of old-fashioned on-air bullying by following her saying she “wasn’t the brightest tool in the box in geography” with the question, “Were you the brightest tool in the box in anything?”
