I quite liked it personally. I assume Piers wanted to reference it as soon as he'd heard it and this was just the quickest way to respond to it on air. I can't imagine GMB have a speedy way to turn around clips from BBC Breakfast to show in a matter of minutes, especially with their current skeleton team, and Piers probably couldn't/wouldn't hold his tongue until it was clipped up properly in a few ad breaks' time!
I don’t think that was ever in question. It was more the fact he just held his phone up to his mic rather than the show actually showing a clip made it look like he’d gone off script.
Maybe tomorrow he could have the live iPlayer open on an iPad and the camera could just zoom into it!
