Piers Morgan tried to take down a Love Island contestant and it backfired spectacularly

Here’s Piers Morgan doing his best to big himself up while making his guests look as small as possible. So no change there then, you might think.

Except this morning Morgan was interviewing Love Island contestant Hayley Hughes, along with her fellow Love Islanders Charlie Frederick and Kendall Rae-Knight, and this happened.

Does #LoveIsland's Hayley know anything about the Pythagorean theorem? Nope and neither do you @piersmorgan! pic.twitter.com/h3dsS3Aii1

What’s the phrase we’re looking for here, oh yes, monumental self-own.

Why exactly does he feel the need to belittle someone the way he was trying to? Glad it backfired completely.

Oh piers. @susannareid100 just called you out. And it was glorious.

If there’s anything Morgan knows about then surely it’s Pi(es).
