Dan Walker gets the better of Piers Morgan after GMB host’s comments about BBC pay

'Classic diversion tactics'

Not for the first time recently, Dan Walker came off the better in a Twitter exchange with Piers Morgan.

In a tweet sent on Friday afternoon, the BBC Breakfast host had encouraged followers with an interest in working on the show to have a look at the BBC’s career page.

Seeing the tweet, Morgan – who presents Good Morning Britain on the other channel – saw fit to reply, explaining why he would not be interested in any roles for the Beeb.

‘Heard it’s dull and the pay’s crap,’ he explained.

In response, Walker assured Morgan that he and his co-workers were, in fact, paid well enough. He also pointed out that he was paid the same amount as co-presenter, Louise Minchin.

Walker also asked if Morgan was paid the same as his co-presenter, Susanna Reid. Funnily enough, Morgan didn’t exactly answer the question in his reply…

As things stand, Morgan is yet to answer the question. Something tells us we might be waiting a while…
