Charlotte told viewers that there was some breaking news regarding Brexit and they would find out new proposals this morning.

Piers interrupted Charlotte, asking her: “Well, what are they?”

Charlotte replied: “We don’t know yet.”

He continued: “Well what’s the breaking news then? The breaking news is that you don’t know what it is.”

Charlotte hit back: “Nobody knows what it is apart from the Prime Minister and Arlene Foster at the moment!”

Piers replied: “It’s like taking a camel to an Oasis and saying it can’t take a drink.”

Charlotte said: “No, we are alerting people that there’s been a development and there will be further details coming.”

Piers mocked: “So there’s some really big breaking news for everybody, we just can’t tell you what it is because we don’t know. It’s very exciting..”

Charlotte hit back: “We’re alerting people,” to which Piers said: “Alerting them to what? We’re alerting people to the fact that we have no idea what the news actually is.

I knew underneath that little sweet exterior was a little harridan.

“I’ve got breaking news, a major incident has happened somewhere in the world, I can’t tell you what it is.”

Charlotte said: “I’ll tell you what, there will be a major incident here in the Good Morning Britain studios in a minute. Zip it!”
