He recently referred to this year’s batch of Love Island hopefuls as “cretins”.
But Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan seemed pretty chuffed when his name was dropped during last night’s show (January 16).
As Shaughna went on her date with new boy Connagh, talk turned to their jobs, with Shaughna revealing that she had “worked the election”.
Viewers’ favourite Shaughna revealed: “I was getting home just as Good Morning Britain was starting. That’s like my favourite thing to do in the world, watch Piers Morgan have an argument.”

Her hunky companion agreed and said: “That’s one of my guilty pleasures, watching all the debates that Piers has.”
I love it, I don’t really watch it unless it’s Monday to Wednesday as that’s when he’s on.
Londoner Shaughna then revealed herself to be quite the Piers superfan.
She said: “I love it, I don’t really watch it unless it’s Monday to Wednesday as that’s when he’s on.”

The comments clearly delighted Piers, who swiftly took to Twitter.
Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen. #LoveIsland

Piers’ followers were quick to comment on his tweet.
Some mocked up memes and others suggested that Piers would be announced as a contestant for the summer series of the show.
