Trisha Goddard’s phone goes off on Good Morning Britain as she ‘texts’ live on air – leaving viewers fuming

TRISHA Goddard's phone alarm interrupted her Good Morning Britain stint today - leaving viewers fuming at home.

The Dancing On Ice star had appeared on the breakfast show to discuss Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's exit from the UK when her device blasted through the interview.

Presenters Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid were forced to apologise after asking Trisha her views on the royals' controversial decision.

Trisha said she supported Meghan, insisting the media had been "unprofessional" in their reporting of the couple, but her loud ring tone started going off as she scrambled to find the device.

Screeching "ooooh" as she grabbed the phone, one viewer tweeted: "Not too professional to leave your phone on when on air , up your game Trish."

Another said: "did you hear it? I was like whatttttttttttttt ;lol #GMB"

Another viewer remarked: "Did she just start texting on telly!"

And one more said: "Who takes their phone on a TV news show? Even worse, when it rings has to check the text! #trisha #gmb"

Last night, Piers Morgan hit out at Megan for "splitting Harry from the Royal Family" - after the couple announced they are quitting as senior royals.

The Good Morning Britain host posted a series of explosive tweets ripping into the pair as they revealed they are moving abroad.

He wrote: "People say I'm too critical of Meghan Markle - but she ditched her family, ditched her dad, ditched most of her old friends, split Harry from William & has now split him from the Royal Family.

"I rest my case".

The outspoken TV personality also tweeted a GIF from Harry and Meghan's wedding, writing "what Meghan wants... Meghan gets" - harking back to a comment the Duke was said to have made to staff.

Piers also dubbed the treatment of the Queen as "disgraceful", as it emerged no royals had been told about the statement.

He tweeted: "Wow. What a disgraceful way to treat the Queen. Shame on Harry and Meghan. Buckingham Palace says 'it's complicated'. Translation: the Queen's bloody furious."

After being told to leave the couple alone by former cricketer Kevin Pietersen he replied: "No. She’s breaking up our royal family after fleecing the public purse.

"As a taxpayer, and a Monarchist, I’m entitled to take a rather dim view of this."

What we know so far: 

• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have quit as senior royals
• The bombshell announcement came reportedly after no other royals were consulted
• The Queen is said to be 'disappointed' at the statement
• The couple plan to live in both North America and the UK with their son Archie
• They want to be 'financially independent' but will still support the Queen
• Princes Charles and William are 'incandescent with rage' at the news

Piers had lashed out at Meghan in the past, claiming they were pals before she "ghosted" him when she met Harry.

Last night, Buckingham Palace admitted discussions with the couple will be "complicated" as they "carve out" their new roles away from the Royal Family.

The pair posted on Instagram they plan to "step back" from royal duties and split their time between Britain and North America - with Canada expected to be their second home.
