Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan made it clear that he is still less than impressed with Love Island as he laid into contestant Hayley Hughes and the Brexit discussion.

The 21-year-old model left Morgan baffled with her recent comments inside the villa about Brexit, in which she said she wasn’t sure if trees would be cut down after the UK leaves the European Union.

Before playing the clip, Morgan explained that the team had been debating the “mental abilities of contestants”, saying that he thought they were “the more stupid people in the world”.

But Susanna Reid lambasted her co-host for being “snobby” before Morgan used the clip to demonstrate “why they are even more stupid”.

And, after the news and weather break, a still incensed Morgan said: “Love Island contestant Hayley Hughes, the one who has never heard of Brexit, earlier in the week did not know what the word superficial means.

“I mean, you would think of all the words Hayley might actually know…you’d think superficial might be the one that would be top of the list of the long words.”

Reid told her co-host that she will continue watching the popular ITV2 show and that is “what we need” as Morgan quipped that she is “getting less intelligent every day”.

The summer show, currently enjoying high ratings, has taken the nation by storm as contestants including a doctor and Danny Dyer’s daughter look for their soulmate.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
