Good Morning Britain - 21 January 2020

GMB is known for its lively and robust discussion of the news agenda and recently covered Peter Phillips’ appearance in a Chinese milk advertisement.

The discussion was focused on whether it was appropriate for members of the Royal family to endorse products abroad in this manner, and was live and unscripted. Piers Morgan’s comments, and his mimicking of the Chinese language in the advertisement, was a spontaneous reaction to the advertisement.

These comments were intended to mock a member of the Royal Family and were not intended to mock or denigrate Chinese people, their language or accent.

ITV regrets any offence Piers' comments may unintentionally have caused.
