He suffered an epic meltdown on Monday morning after the topic of gender neutrality came up following Emma Watson's win in the Best Actor category at the MTV Movie and TV Awards.

But it seems that Piers Morgan hadn't managed to placate himself with a few outbursts on the topic the previous day, as the Good Morning Britain anchor sparked outrage with viewers as he chaired a debate on gender identity on Tuesday.

Sitting down with co-anchor Susanna Reid, transgender reality star Kelly Mahoney, and journalist Harriet Minter, the 52-year-old journalist angered many viewers with his railroading of the "Is this the end of his and hers?" debate.

As Piers harangued and spoke over his two guests and Susanna, his outright attack on non-traditional gender roles caused many viewers to voice their anger at his "unprofessional" and "rude" conduct on the sofa.

During the debate, which saw Piers become increasingly shrill and irate, he labelled anything outside the traditional two gender categories "ridiculous".

"What is wrong with it the way we have it?" He asked Harriet and Kelly, before launching into an attack on genders outside of male and female.

"There were 50, now there's 100… what next?" He asked, before going on to label himself an Arsenal Tragic.

"I'm going to call myself an Arsenal Tragic. Do you respect that?!" He asked the three women. "Do you respect my right as an Arsenal Tragic to be entered into a category that is only available to Arsenal Tragics? Do you respect that? Or, would you tell me that’s ridiculous, as it is!"

As the debate concluded with no clear outcome, viewers took to twitter - with many incensed at Piers comments during the segment.

"My God @piersmorgan makes my blood boil," wrote an incensed @sophie_marie91, and many other seemed to agree with the sentiments.

"Piers Morgan is an absolute cretin," opined another, while @LadyRaaRaa asked: "What's the point in there ever being a guest on #GMB if @piersmorgan won't let them speak?!"

But, Piers wasn't completely alone in his views as some viewers at home came to his rescue, and supported his stance.

"@piersmorgan watching #GMB. Agree with you completely. Are we going to take away signs of public toilets incase we offend? Behave," tweeted @NAYFQII.

While @steph_mul begrudgingly lent her support, writing: "Actually agree with @piersmorgan for the first time ever. 71 different forms of gender, absolute shite. Pathetic."
