Piers Morgan has stormed off the set of Lorraine in a tongue-in-cheek repeat of his Good Morning Britain exit from last year. Ending his interview with Lorraine Kelly in typically low-key fashion, Morgan shouted: "I'm storming off!" as he walked off set.
Morgan was appearing on Lorraine to promote his new show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, which begins next week on TalkTV. Once he had finished promoting it and answering Kelly's questions, she told him: "You can toddle off now!" prompting him to walk off set and exclaim: "I'm not coming back here!"
Elsewhere in the interview, Morgan bizarrely claimed he did not walk out of Good Morning Britain. He said: "I didn't walk out."

He explained: "I went back in that day. I had a little time out because I wasn't sure how I would respond if I stayed sitting there listening to that idiot [Alex Beresford] giving me his two pennies' worth. So I did walk back in, and I did finish that show.
"And then I was presented with a fait accompli and I chose not to apologise and to leave."
Morgan had explained that ITV asked him to apologise for his remarks about Meghan Markle, who he said he didn't believe when she had opened up about her mental health issues. Beresford, the GMB weather presenter, then defended Markle, which was when Morgan decided to walk out.
"Just to be clear, I didn't want to leave. It wasn't my choice to leave.
"I was just told: 'You have to apologise or you have to leave.' I said: 'Why would I apologise for something I believe?'"
The presenter has not given up on his crusade against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, using his Lorraine slot to claim Harry has "made the Queen's life a misery". Addressing Harry, Morgan said: "All you do is trash the royal family, you trash your brother, you trash your father, [and] you trash the monarchy."
Piers Morgan Uncensored begins at 8pm on April 25, airing on TalkTV.
