Piers Morgan has been blasted by viewers for ‘bullying’ Joe Wicks during an interview on Good Morning Britain.

The presenter came under fire from fans as he grilled the Body Coach about his love life during a live interview on Wednesday.

Despite the fact the fitness professional was on the sofa to discuss his new book and videos, Morgan continually pressed him about his relationship status.

“How many women come knocking at your door?" he asked.

“None, no women. But we're not here to talk about girls, we're here to talk about Lean in 15. I just don't like talking about women, it's private,” Wicks awkwardly replied.

Morgan then hit back by saying: “You're not private. Let's face it, everything you do or eat is on Instagram.”

When asked again about his love life, Wicks finally gave in and replied: “I just don't like talking about girls, that's the one thing I don't talk about. I've got a girlfriend, she's beautiful.”

Turning to Susanna Reid, Wicks then said: “He’s thrown me big time.”

Viewers were quick to slam Morgan’s ‘rude’ interview technique on Twitter, with one person writing:

“After that interview poor Joe Wicks I think Piers Morgan was struggling to contain his jealousy RUDE uncomfortable watching."

Another posted: “Poor @thebodycoach Piers Morgan was absolutely horrible in that interview on @GMB He thinks he's funny and he's really not!!”

"Why has Piers been allowed to dominate @thebodycoach interview?Totally cringe pressing him about his love life. Felt like bullying #GMB," someone else added.
