The Defence Secretary was being quizzed on the leaked Brexit Immigration Plan and the news that Jacob Rees-Mogg is the current favourite to replace Theresa May as head of the Conservative party, when the presenter asked a very awkward question.
Piers noted: “[Jacob] has never changed a nappy, famously, he says,” before asking: “Have you ever changed a nappy?”
“I think these are questions that you must interrogate Jacob Rees-Mogg on,” Sir Michael replied.
But Piers persisted: “Well, I’m just asking you. Have you ever changed a nappy?”
Clearly embarrassed, the MP reluctantly answered: “Yes I have. Yes I have.”
“Were you good at it?” the Good Morning Britain presenter enquired.
Sir Michael could be heard muttering “erm”, before awkwardly looking away from the camera and refusing to answer the question.
After the interview came to a close, co-host Susanna Reid asked Piers: “How many nappies have you changed?”
The 52-year-old went on to brag that he was “one of the best one-handed nappy changers”, which left the brunette beauty stunned.
It wasn’t just Susanna and Sir Michael who were left shocked by Piers’ choice of question, with one viewer at home tweeting: “Why do we need to know if the defence Secretary has changed a nappy?! #GMB.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
