Piers Morgan is one of the most controversial television personalities to intrude onto our screens, and whether we like it or not, he appears to have the power to stay there, having rudely awoken us on Good Morning Britain every weekday since 2015. When his contract with the breakfast programme ends next year, he will have accumulated quite a catalogue of presenting malpractice, meaning that he really shouldn\u2019t be allowed to continue in this public role of presenting.<\/p>\n

1. He\u2019s overbearing<\/h2>\n

When co-presenting and interviewing guests on Good Morning Britain, Piers has to be the centre of attention and dominate the floor, not allowing other people to speak. He constantly interrupts, talks over people and raises his voice, just watch this clip of his most fiery moments<\/a> on the show!<\/p>\n

\n

2. He\u2019s sexist<\/h2>\n

Piers Morgan is constantly attacking feminism, insisting that women are trying to create a new type of inequality between the genders which works in their favour. When discussing the Women\u2019s World Cup<\/a>, he complained that there were four female pundits, bearing in mind the countless occasions in which football pundits have been all male.<\/p>\n

3. He\u2019s a bad listener<\/h2>\n

The presenter refuses to listen to other people\u2019s points of view, completely ignoring what they\u2019ve said in order to keep forcing his opinion onto them. For instance, when going head to head with Lord Sugar<\/a>, he continued to ramble on about how his career was launched on an American TV programme and therefore not by Lord Sugar, when Sugar had clearly stated previous to this response that he believed he was responsible for launching his UK career, not his entire career.<\/p>\n

\n

4. He\u2019s arrogant<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s Piers\u2019 way or the highway\u2026he frequently boasts of his importance and popularity on Good Morning Britain, claiming that the high viewership figures are down to him. Just watching this self-absorbed man is unbearable, I can\u2019t imagine the infuriation of working with him \u2013 hats off to Susanna Reid.<\/p>\n

5. He causes offense<\/h2>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet been offended by any of Piers Morgan\u2019s outrageous comments or Twitter insults, you\u2019re in the minority. One of many examples is when he offended Caitlyn Jenner<\/a>, and likely a large majority of the LGBT community, on his own programme, Piers Morgan\u2019s Life Stories, by jokingly referencing \u2018certain areas\u2019 of the body, a serious matter when it comes to members of the transgender community.<\/p>\n

6. His teamwork skills are an abomination<\/h2>\n

To successfully co-present, it\u2019s essential to work well as part of a team \u2013 look at the most iconic ITV duos such as Holly and Phil, Eamon and Ruth or Ant and Dec. Piers Morgan lacks people skills and would far rather have complete control of the show by himself.<\/p>\n

7. He\u2019s inappropriate<\/h2>\n

In line with all the above traits, Piers also makes highly inappropriate comments, such as declaring he was going to identify as a black woman after branding gender neutrality a ridiculous concept. He\u2019s also been known to let his emotions get in the way of his professionalism on live TV, telling Michael Gove to \u201cshove it where the sun don\u2019t shine\u201d. This isn\u2019t something we expect to see on a family-friendly daytime TV show.<\/p>\n

\n

8. He\u2019s insensitive<\/h2>\n

Piers Morgan\u2019s brash and straightforward interviewing style is consequently very insensitive on many occasions. When it comes to topics such as mental health, where he\u2019s attacked celebs such as Will Young for speaking out about mental health issues; terrorism, where he\u2019s suggested the British Muslim community are largely responsible; and fellow presenters’ personal lives, where he jealously criticized national treasure Ant McPartlin for receiving this year’s Best Presenter Award at the NTAs alongside Dec, “Even though Ant\u2019s basically been sitting on his backside from what I can see walking his dog for the last year. He\u2019s got an award”, the presenter doesn\u2019t seem to engage his brain before he opens his mouth.<\/p>\n

9. He\u2019s aggressive<\/h2>\n

His TV persona is perceived by many as intimidating and aggressive, making many guests feel uncomfortable. In a debate with a Donald Trump critic, Piers persistently interrogated her with the same question concerning a particular figure in order to prove his point.<\/p>\n

10. He puts words in people\u2019s mouths<\/h2>\n

In order to win a debate, Piers Morgan has a habit of putting words in people\u2019s mouths. For instance, when debating with Mariella Frostrap about female objectification, he presupposes that she is endorsing male objectification when she hadn\u2019t, in fact, said that at all.<\/p>\n
