Piers added: “Apparently I have blending issues .I don’t even know what that means. Apparently this part of my face is orange and this part isn’t.
“I don’t care. I come in, I’m slapping this on, and in the general scheme of things in the world right now my blending issues are not that important people.”
Susanna then explained to viewers: “You are turning into your friend Donald Trump.”
And Piers clapped back: “We don’t have our army of make-up and hair people. It is not that important/
“For anyone who is offended by my orange head, trust me.”
Elsewhere on the breakfast show, Piers revealed his youngest son Albert has shown symptoms of coronavirus.
