Piers Morgan blasts I’m A Celeb star for refusing to appear on GMB

Wow, Piers, don't hold back!

Piers Morgan has accused I’m A Celebrity campmate Kezia Dugdale of REFUSING to be interviewed by him on Good Morning Britain.

The outspoken breakfast show anchor took aim at former Scottish Labour Leader Kezia, 36, on Monday, just one day after she was given the boot from the jungle.

Piers, 52, claimed that Kezia had declined the chance to appear on the show because she didn’t want to talk to him.

And in typical Piers style, he didn’t hold back AT ALL on his thoughts about that…

As co-host Susanna Reid sat quietly next to him looking somewhat bored / frustrated, Piers ranted: “We want to get Kezia on, the MP, to have a chat with her about the fact that she has been turfed out immediately by the British public, but she wasn’t available to us.”

Piers continued: “She didn’t want to be on a programme to talk about it with me.

“She preferred to have a nice, cosier chat elsewhere, with people that might be nice to her.”

He said: “Kezia, my question would have simply been, get back to your damn constituency and do your job, right? That’s it, Kezia.

“You’re an MP, a member of Parliament, paid by us, to serve the people, not to gallivant around in a jungle trying to eat kangaroo testicles, right?

“The British public just gave their verdict on you: they don’t like you. They don’t like anything you stood for by going into that jungle.

“So get back to your job.”

Susanna concluded the segment by simply pointing out: “So, if you wonder why she didn’t want to appear in an interview with Piers, there’s your evidence.”

Kezia, who did appear via video link on Lorraine right after GMB, has yet to respond.

The politician is the second star to be eliminated from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! this series.

She got her marching orders on Sunday night, following in the footsteps of comedian Shappi Khorsandi.

Speaking to Ant & Dec in her post-jungle chat, she said: “I would have been happy to stay but I’m happy to go as well. It feels good. I’m hungry, I want a bacon roll, a nice cup of coffee.

“I’ve had twelve amazing days and did everything I wanted to do, so I’m done.”

I’m A Celeb airs nightly on ITV. GMB airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
