Piers Morgan responds after guest calls him ‘fragile man-baby’ live on GMB

Piers Morgan was left stunned after being called “a petty, fragile-man baby” by a Good Morning Britain guest during a debate about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a lawyer and activist, clashed with the presenter during a debate about Harry and Meghan’s upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Meghan and Harry last week announced they would not be returning to the royal family and had filmed an interview with Winfrey for US network CBS.

Morgan asked Mos-Shogbamimu: “Did you in your blind adulation shudder when you heard that this privacy-minded couple had decided to spill their guts on Oprah for 90 minutes of primetime American telly for gazillions, but also that they chose to film it on the very day that the Duke of Edinburgh was taken into hospital?”

In response, Mos-Shogbamimu claimed Piers’ anger was born out of a grudge against Meghan after she apparently “rejected” him after getting together with the prince.

She said: “There is no blind adulation because I might as well refer to you, Piers, as being a petty, petulant, fragile man-baby who can’t get his act together because Meghan rejected you.”

Morgan has been a long-time critic of Markle and claims the couple “wanted to have their royal cake and eat it.”

Responding to the debate, he said:
