Speaking to anti-terrorism campaigner Maajid Nawaz, Morgan said: "The bottom line is, if you don't live in this country, you abide by our laws and you abide by our values and if you don't like it, go and live somewhere else.

"I'm sorry if you go to Saudi Arabia, you have to abide by their laws and their values. The same logic should apply here."

Morgan and co-host Susanna Reid had been discussing extremists living in the UK in the wake of the London Bridge terror attack that killed seven.

He was praised on social media by viewers, with some claiming he should even be the next Prime Minister.
