Piers Morgan was criticised by a Labour MP during another 'car crash' interview on Good Morning Britain today (May 1).
After Diane Abbott's awkward appearance on the show yesterday, Rupa Huq was in the ITV studios earlier and was grilled on her party's policy on illegal immigration.
During the live chat, she was asked repeatedly what Labour believes is the correct approach when it comes to illegal immigrants and whether they should be deported.
While she explained to Piers that people would be treated on a case-by-case basis via a "fast and fair process" and stated that those breaching the law would be deported, Piers kept asking the same question.
Eventually, Rupa became visibly fed up and snapped: "OK, what do you want me to say here? You're trying to be Jeremy Paxman. You are trying to be Jeremy Paxman by asking repetitive questions.
"I'm not higher up. I'm not going to make a policy at 7am. My opinion is that you have a fair system."

Piers then became defensive and insisted he was not trying to imitate Paxman's interviewing techniques.
He hit back: "I'm not trying to be Jeremy Paxman. I can't stand Jeremy Paxman. I'm trying to be Piers Morgan."
Rupa then accused the host of not listening to her properly and stressed that she had already answered his question several times.
"I've answered but you don't want to listen to what I'm saying," she said. "Yes, if they're not here correctly then they're out. If only you listened, Piers. I think Susanna [Reid] got it."
Those tuning in at home did not appear to be impressed by Piers' approach to the interview and criticised him on Twitter:
However, there were some who sided with the presenter on social media:
Did you agree with Piers' aggressive interviewing technique?
