Piers Morgan pretended to vomit on live TV after listening to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's podcast.
The incident took place on Good Morning Britain where the outspoken host made his feelings about the former Royal Family members' new podcast series very clear.
This comes after the couple announced the creation of their new production company, Archewell Audio, which they accompanied with a trailer for their podcast series which promises interviews with "amazing people" where the pair will offer "different perspectives".

After playing a clip of the podcast trailer on the show, Piers then pretended to be sick into a bin and said that it was "vomit-making".
Acting out a dry-heave, he said: "How utterly vomit-making."
While Piers, who has been a longtime critic of the couple, might appear to have had an extreme reaction, his co-host Susanna Reid, who typically likes them, said that she thought the podcast was a "parody" when she read about it in the paper.
Susanna said: "Even I am finding it hard now."
Piers replied: "They've lost Susanna Reid! Breaking news!"
He then joked to her: "You were vomiting in the meeting, gagging, the reflux was gone," adding: "If they weren't royals they wouldn't be making this money. I don't mind if they aren't royals."
The couple released a statement yesterday to announce the collaboration.
It said: "What we love about podcasting is that it reminds us all to take a moment and to really listen, to connect to one another without distraction."
"With the challenges of 2020, there has never been a more important time to do so, because when we hear each other, and hear each other's stories, we are reminded of how interconnected we all are," they continued.
Archewell Audio will release a holiday special this month in collaboration with Spotify's Gimlet studio. Hosted by the couple, it will "feature stories of hope and compassion from inspirational guests in celebration of the new year".
Dawn Ostroff, chief content and advertising business officer at Spotify, said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may live in California but the power of their voices rests in their status as citizens of the world.
"That they are embracing the extraordinary capacity of podcasts on Spotify while also seeking to elevate underrepresented voices is a testament to their appreciation for the potential of audio storytelling."
