Piers Morgan asks Jenrick ‘why isn’t Boris Johnson resigning?’
Jim Davidson, 67, didn’t hold back as he blasted Piers Morgan, 55, and his Good Morning Britain co-star Susanna Reid in a video, which lasted over two minutes. During the clip, he began by saying he had just watched the pair on their ITV morning show and wasn’t impressed with what the journalist said about Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Piers, you make me so angry, I am ashamed to have sat in front of you and told you my life story
It comes as the presenters discussed the UK’s covid-related deaths, which have reached over 100,000.
During the show, Piers called for Boris to resign as he slammed his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
As part of the clip, Jim ranted: “Piers, you make me so angry, I am ashamed to have sat in front of you and told you my life story.
“You don’t deserve to be told my life story, you don’t deserve to listen to anyone’s life story, because you don’t f*****g listen!”

Piers shared Jim’s video in view of his seven million followers on Twitter this morning.
He wrote: “Hi Jim, Always good to hear your foul-mouthed, abusive, sexist, Boris-slathering views.”
In response to Jim saying he had recently lost a loved one, he added: “Sorry about your friend.”
In the comedian’s clip, he began by taking a swipe at Susanna claiming she had “turned into Piers in a frock”.

He then said the latter didn’t call for Boris to resign when the death toll figures were at 98,000 last week, but now wants him gone because the figures are at 100,000.
Jim then queried: “Why are we so mad about figures? We’ve had 100,000 people die.
“No one knew about this virus and Piers is saying, ‘What did the Prime Minister do? He didn’t even go to his Cobra meetings’.”
He went on to accuse the Good Morning Britain host of passing blame onto the Prime Minister to make himself “look good”.

“This is what this is all about, is you wanting to look good!” he added.
“You don’t look good, you look pathetic! And Susanna, so do you, shame on the pair of you.”
In reference to MPs boycotting the morning show last year, he added: “Why do you think no one comes on your f*****g show?”
“The Prime Minister has got better things to do, he’s got to stop other people dying.”
Jim went on to say one of his friends had died last night, as he continued: “Do I blame the Prime Minister? No.”
“Piers, I’m ashamed to even know you mate, you disgust me,” he concluded.
The comedian was interviewed by Piers on the latter’s Life Stories show in 2018.
Good Morning Britain airs daily from 6am on ITV.
