Piers Morgan is not happy with Boris Johnson after he appeared on a rival breakfast show.

On Friday, Boris Johnson was the first party leader to be interviewed as part of a series on BBC Breakfast.

But Morgan, who presents Good Morning Britain, made his feelings clear on the snub for his show and accused the Prime Minister and Conservative Party of "stitching" them up.

He said: "Sorry, WHAT? You’re doing them again before honouring your repeated on-air promises to do us at GMB, Prime Minister Boris Johnson? Wow. And there was me naively thinking we could take you at your word... Very shabby by you & Conservatives to stitch us up like this."

He didn't end there saying: "It's really pathetic actually. Boris looked down the barrel of our camera and made a promise in front of our viewers. He lied to them as much as us."

On the show, the Prime Minister has said that the "whole potential of this country" can be realised if Brexit is pushed through.

Speaking on BBC One's Breakfast programme, the Prime Minister said the Conservative Party message for the election was: "Get Brexit done and unleash the whole potential of this country.

"We will be out of the EU and that's by far the most important thing."

After host Naga Munchetty said it would only be a technical departure from the EU, the PM replied: "More than technically, legally, in terms of money, borders, our laws, legally.

"Our abilities to do things differently, to do free trade deals, we will be out and that will be a great opportunity for this country."

Mr Johnson said of Brexit: "The deal we will be doing with the EU is unlike any other deal they have ever done, they are doing it with a state that is already in perfect harmony with their arrangements."

He added that next year the UK will be able to "get on" and do things differently, everything from "cutting VAT on tampons, banning the export of live animals to putting free ports to the UK".

The Prime Minister said missing the three previous deadlines "breaks" his heart but guaranteed Britain will leave the EU on January 1 2020 if a working majority is settled.

"It was Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party who were responsible for that delay," he continued.

Mr Johnson also talked about investing in the state of the NHS, immigration, the flooding that has hit parts of England and how to make a cup of tea.

Mr Johnson called the country the "greatest place on earth" during the interview.

"Well, I think that this country is the greatest place on earth, fantastic country," he said.

"But its success depends on two things being in balance: one is fantastic public services and the other is a dynamic market economy.

"An economy where business can hire and grow, and take on new people, and at the moment business is stymied, business is frustrated by the refusal of Parliament to get Brexit done."
