Piers Morgan leaves Good Morning Britain viewers cringing as he takes on CNCO in beatboxing battle

The broadcaster also suffered a "technical fail" at the start of his performance

Piers Morgan left Good Morning Britain viewers - and co-host Susanna Reid - cringing when he attempted a beatboxing battle with Latin American boyband CNCO.

The broadcaster blamed his bad performance on a technical issue with his microphone as he struggled to match up to Zabdiel De Jesús’ skills.

Referring to his beatboxing experience on Britain’s Got Talent back in 2008, Morgan said: “On Britain’s Got Talent I did a bit of beatboxing. Turns out I was a bit of a natural!”

But he couldn’t champion the singer as he moaned that the “microphone wasn’t on” before getting into the beatboxing groove against the artists.

Morgan’s futile attempt left viewers unimpressed as they voiced their shock at his attempt on Monday morning.

One wrote: “Piers just spitting into a microphone...Monday has never started so well...#gmb.”

Another posted: “Someone wash that microphone. Piers has slabbered all over it #GMB.”

“Susanna's reaction is GOLD!” laughed somebody else as they watched Reid descend into hysterics.

Morgan took on David Crowe in a beatbox battle on BGT spin-off show Britain’s Got More Talent in 2008.

In a shock turn of events, he was declared the winner by the audience.

Morgan quizzed the Spice Girl on whether there was any truth to the rumour her and Geri Horner had slept together, with Brown nodding.

The singer then said: “She's going to hate me for this because she's all posh in her country house with her husband. But it’s the past.”

Morgan later revealed that Brown had called Horner as soon as filming ended while Melanie Chisholm continued to look shocked backstage.
