PIERS Morgan raged at Ant and Dec today after their brutal dig about him on I’m A Celebrity last night.
The cheeky swipe took place when they introduced Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway to viewers on the ITV series.

Ant and Dec couldn’t resist a little snub after Piers said earlier this year he’d go into the jungle for £5million.
And speaking about Kate, 52, Dec said she would be facing a “huge challenge”.
However, Ant couldn’t resist stepping in with a quip – and told his pal: “But before she goes back to work with Piers Morgan, she’s got three weeks in the jungle!”
Piers’ face said it all, after he admitted he saw the dig as he watched I’m A Celebrity last night.

He said: “It took Ant and Dec about three seconds (to mention me).”
Not stopping there, the mouthy presenter went into a Geordie accent and impersonated Ant.
Susanna made him feel better and told him: “They couldn’t afford you so they mention you at every opportunity.”
She then addressed Ant and Dec and said: “(Piers) very rarely works with Kate Garraway. It’s the rest of us you need to feel sorry for!”

Kate is first up for a Bushtucker trial with Caitlyn Jenner.
Ant and Dec announced the unlucky pair would face Bugged Off at the end of the launch show.
The scary challenge will see the celebs suspended high above the ground in boxes filled with 50,000 creepy crawlies and 25 rats.
Meanwhile Ant made his long-awaited return after two years away from the jungle.
Dec presented alongside Holly Willoughby last year, with the This Morning favourite filling in for Ant after he took a career hiatus in the fallout from his drink driving conviction.

As well as I’m a Celeb, Ant also dropped out of Saturday Night Takeaway, leaving Dec to present solo.
At the start of the beloved reality show, Dec made a point of welcoming back his best bud, excitedly gushing: “I’m back – and he’s back!”
Meanwhile Ant poked fun at Dec for introducing the wrong celebrity during the intro videos, quipping: “I’ve had a year off, what’s your excuse?!

One Twitter user wrote: “So good to see you both back together! Already winning at life with the jokes boys! Looking forward to the next few weeks with you’s on my telly box each night!”
“Love that you can laugh at yourself Ant,” another gushed alongside a string of heart emojis.
A third chipped in: “Nobody makes me laugh like Ant and Dec, that joke about his year off! Best double act ever.”
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! airs every night on ITV at 9pm.
