Speaking about her colleague’s decision, Susanna noted: “It’s so you can launch a full investigation into who whacked the back of your car!”
It comes after he blamed his co-host for hitting his car on yesterday’s instalment.
Piers replied: “Yes, well there is that. Also, it’s a long old haul isn’t it, we’re all sort of feeling a bit like…”
Her co-host added: “Well sorry but people will be playing the world’s smallest violin.”
However, Piers insisted he was not looking for sympathy, saying: “I’m not after violins, not after violins.
“We’re having half-term off, even though there is no half term,” with Susanna asking him what he would be getting up to.
