Warm welcome from Piers’ BBQ

By now, we should know whether Theresa May has won the fight to secure her husband’s bin-emptying job at No10 for the foreseeable.

For me though, the big winners during the general election were another “old married couple” who look a lot more comfortable on a TV sofa than the Mays.

Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, below, have had a fine campaign. Little wonder that Good Morning Britain has had its highest ratings for a year.

It’s incredible to think that this once fluffy and frothy breakfast show is now mentioned in the same breath — and treated with the same fear/respect by spin doctors — as political TV heavyweights such as Andrew Marr, Andrew Neil, Jon Snow and David Dimbleby.

In the old days, I might have nicknamed Piers “Kebab Man” on account of his belt size. Now I’d do it because he skewered more politicians in the past few weeks than anyone else on TV.

The man is televisual Marmite — although he won’t like hearing that the smiling assassin to his left is clearly the one in charge.

Piers puts the meat on the spike but Susanna watches it on the grill — and then adds the sauce.
