"You know you sit next to a feminist every morning, right?"
We're not exactly shocked that Piers Morgan has been making jokes about the Women's March. After all, just days ago he called sports presenting "a man's job", and he's often referred to Donald Trump as a "friend".
That said, his tweets about yesterday's marches are infuriating to say the least, and co-host Susanna Reid wasted no time in shutting his comments down.
Piers began with this:
It seems the This Morning host was unaware that the marches taking place were not women-only. Men were also marching for women's rights and standing up to misogyny, because they recognise that equality is in all of our interests.
He continued: "I'm planning a 'Men's March' to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who's with me?"
8k likes for my Men's March. I have a movement! twitter.com/piersmorgan/st…
It's a shame that Piers thinks women, men and children were marching for the sole purpose of emasculating him, but it's good to see Susanna speak up over his tweets.
She simply wrote: "You know you sit next to a feminist every morning, right? @piersmorgan".

Many others - including Lily Allen, who wrote "fuck off" to Piers - have criticised the host for his tweets, branding him "embarrassing" and "insecure". Now, who's betting things will be pretty awkward on the This Morning sofa this week?
Yep, us too.
