GMB’s Charlotte Hawkins reveals the moment she ‘lost it’ with Piers Morgan as she poses for glam new shoot with Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway

CHARLOTTE Hawkins admits she often gets irritated by her Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan - but one particular incident really took the biscuit.

The TV star, 43, says she "lost it" with Piers, 53, after he continually interrupted her news bulletin.

She told magazine: "Just recently he was having a cup of tea and he kept putting it in front of my shot and blocking me out.

"It was driving me nuts, and it was driving the director nuts who told Piers to stop doing it. Then he did it one more time and I lost it. He's like a child."

The interview also included Charlotte's fellow GMB stars Susanna Reid, 47, and Kate Garraway, 51.

The trio were asked who Piers annoys the most, and, recalling another recent moment when he barged her out of the way to win an egg and spoon race, Charlotte confessed it was her.

Charlotte said: "Probably me... or Susanna, but she keeps calm about it.

"I don't know whether she's got a little doll that she sticks pins in behind the desk or something - maybe why that's why she's so calm on-screen."

Susanna added: "I think I've just developed an epic level of zen.

"I see Charlotte about to do her thunder look and just think, 'Just develop the epic level of zen!'"

Kate added: "By the way, Charlotte is never angry - that's why it's so funny!"

Charlotte, Susanna and Kate also have each other's backs - especially in a crisis.

Kate revealed how Charlotte burst into tears after she got the boot from Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017, and they all rallied around.

She said: "I remember coming into work and asking how Charlotte was and she said fine.

"Then I went to make some tea, came back and she just burst into tears. We totally knew what she was going through."

Charlotte added: "It's all coming back now....It was incredibly hard when I got voted out."
