“You just think, could there be a more inappropriate time for all this to be blasting this out in public.”

Following the discussion, Piers and Susanna Reid interviewed cricketer Kevin Pietersen.

He said: “I’m so glad I followed on from Harry and Meghan.

“Can you just leave them alone please Piers, you’re doing everyone’s head in.”

Piers hit back: “Mate, with respect, what part of them giving endless primetime TV interviews means they want to be left alone?”

However, Kevin said: “You know how to deal with it, just leave them alone.”

Piers exclaimed: “They don’t want to be left alone!”

Kevin replied, “Well just leave them alone,” as Susanna chipped in, “Can we leave them alone in this interview?”

However, some viewers slammed Piers, calling him “obsessed” with the couple.
