Piers Morgan is BOOED as he appears gagged on stage at the NTAs
Piers Morgan was booed as he appeared at the NTAs alongside co-host Susanna Reid - who announced that she'd gagged him, to much hilarity.
The two presenters went up on stage to present an award, with Piers sporting a black band of material wrapped around his jaw to stop him talking.
Speaking about how she'd managed to get Piers to shut up for five minutes, Susanna told the audience: "It's been a controversial week on Good Morning Britain. We've had tears, we've had tantrums – we've even had a walkout.

"So I've done what people have been urging me to do for some time… I've finally gagged Piers Morgan. Just enjoying this moment."
The crowd clapped and cheered for Susanna, having booed Piers when he first got up in front of them.
It came after Piers took his public spat with Ewan McGregor to the next level - by insisting the actor have a fight with him on live TV.

PIERS MORGAN TELLS EWAN TO FACE HIM ON NTAS RED CARPET
It came after the actor refused to appear on Good Morning Britain over Morgan’s criticism of women marching against Donald Trump.
Asked about the spat by a journalist on the event's red carpet, Piers hit back by insisting that they indulge in a playful war of words.
"We're in a bizarre world where things happen and social media goes nuts. But, look, I like to debate things with people. I have an opinion and people are of course entitled to theirs, but if they don't like what I've got to say then let's have a debate about it.
"His behaviour was very odd. We weren't even gonna mention the women's march. Come and have it out with me, I say - be a man, Ewan!"

His comments come just a day after he launched an astonishing attack on the Scottish performer, branding him a “paedophile loving hypocrite”.
In a bizarre tirade, presenter Morgan gave the Scot both barrels, calling him a “narrow-minded, stupendously self-aggrandising, anti-democratic little twerp” with his column headline calling him a "paedophile-loving hypocrite".
He also rounded on McGregor’s previous support for film director Roman Polanski - a convicted child abuser who pleaded guilty to the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl before fleeing America.
Morgan said: “Had we done the interview, I might have asked him how his heroic support for women justified him working for director Roman Polanski, a self-confessed and convicted child abuser, on the film, The Ghostwriter.
“McGregor, who has four young daughters, was asked about it and said: ‘I felt sad for Roman because he’s an old man who I’m incredibly fond of. I like him as a man’.”
Morgan claimed McGregor stormed out of the studio after finding out the former newspaper editor would be interviewing him.
Piers and co-host Susanna Reid then spotted a tweet from the Hollywood star stating: “Was going on Good Morning Britain, didn’t realise @piersmorgan was host.
“Won’t go on with him after his comments about #WomensMarch.”
