Piers Morgan left viewers in shock as he barged onto the Lorraine set during his wife’s interview.

Celia Walden, who married Morgan in 2010, joined Lorraine Kelly to spill the beans about being married to the controversial broadcaster and talk about feminism and female empowerment.

Novelist and journalist Walden told the show: “Piers and I have the same views on feminism. He is a feminist! People think he's not, but he is and he thinks it's all about equality. We have a very equal marriage.”

But, as the 42-year-old spoke, Morgan stormed onto the set wearing green marigolds saying: “Sorry. I’ve just been doing the housework.”

The Good Morning Britain host sat next to his wife and began: “Has Celia told you I'm a feminist? I'm surrounded by strong women and I don't get why grid girls and darts girls are thought to be letting down women, but Kim Kardashian and her topless selfies are empowering.”

But viewers were left shocked by Morgan’s gatecrashing antics and “making it about him” when it was Walden’s interview.

One wrote: “@piersmorgan has stormed the stage and taken over the interview. Let your wife talk Piers #Lorraine.”

“Only Piers Morgan would hijack his wife’s interview. Gerroff!! #Lorraine,” added another.

However, some viewers were glad to see the controversial broadcaster on the other side of an interview for once and welcomed his opinions on the debate.

Earlier, Morgan was left visibly shocked when the breakfast show cut to Lorraine who revealed her star guest.
