Piers Morgan has made a name for himself outside of Good Morning Britain by interviewing some of the scariest serial killers in the world.
But in his latest show – Psychopath With Piers Morgan – viewers found his interview with convicted murderer Paris Bennett “tough to watch” thanks to some disturbing scenes.

Piers, 54, met with Bennett in prison, with a screen separating the two.
Bennett stabbed his four-year-old sister to death in 2007 when he was 13.
Diagnosed as a psychopath, he’s now serving a 40-year jail sentence for his horrific crime.
During the programme, he told Piers: “For many years, there was just this hot, flaming ball of wrath in the pit of my stomach and it was directed at my mother.”
He added that he wanted to hurt his mother, who was listening in on the interview, in “the worst possible way”.
