Piers Morgan hits back at GMB host Adil Ray over 'baby' comments for him

Piers Morgan has turned his guns on host Adil Ray who dubbed him a 'baby' on live TV show.

Ray, the ITV show’s frequent regular co-host, asked Susanna Reid on their live show: “You have presented with some babies over the years, haven’t you?”

As if there was any confusion as to who he was referring to, the host continued: “They stormed out and threw a tantrum.”

Piers Morgan, former GMB co-host, hit back at Ray in his own style as he tweeted: “Hmmm. Given how Mr Ray has helped destroy GMB’s ratings since I left, if I were him I’d probably avoid mocking the guy who took them to record heights….”

Adil Ray was discussing the debate surrounding taking children into work with co-host Susanna Reid and guest Kevin Maguire when he made the joke.

“If you are driving a cab, or you work in a call centre, you cannot take your baby into work,” Maguire said, asking Reid: “When your kids were young, were you taking them into a TV studio while you were presenting? Were you presenting with a baby? Rocking him or her?”

Ray responded as saying: “You have presented with some babies over the years, haven’t you?”

Piers Morgan befittingly responded to Adil Ray's quip and flayed him in his famous style, accusing him of destroying GMB’s ratings.
