In a pre-recorded segment, the Good Morning Britain presenter, 55, decided to quiz himself in a scenario lay out like his Life Stories show.

Tongue-in-cheek: Piers Morgan filmed an entertaining skit in which he interviewed himself while accepting the TV Personality gong at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards on Thursday night
Introducing the sketch, Piers said: ‘Tonight I’m going to be interviewing someone who divides opinion like few others.
‘Whether he is talking about transgender athletes or vegan sausage rolls or papooses or President Trump, he has opinions and attitudes which inflame Twitter on an hourly basis.
‘But tonight he is getting an award for something different, and it’s very specific and it’s his skewering of British Government ministers during this global pandemic.

Piers said: ‘I would definitely not vote for Boris Johnson, he has been a total disaster as a leader. I voted for him on one issue… I would rather shoot myself then vote for Boris and I don’t like guns.’
The presenter then asked: ‘Do you still consider Trump a friend?
Piers replied: ‘Well I think with Trump if I saw him, he’d probably be fine. You know I criticised him because he came out with this ridiculous notion we should be injecting ourselves with bleach.
‘I wrote a column for the Mail and the headline was: ‘Shut the f**k up, Mr President. You’re bats**t crazy ideas will get people killed’, and he unfollowed me.
