Piers Morgan calls Andrew Ridgeley insufferable after GMB interview
The Good Morning Britain presenter has been criticised for continually asking the former Wham! star about George Michael.
Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has called Andrew Ridgeley an “insufferable dick” after the former Wham! member said he would prefer to talk about his charity work than his former bandmate George Michael during an awkward interview.
Morgan, 53, criticised Ridgeley, 55, after his appearance on the ITV programme, during which the former star shut down a line of questioning about his music career and Michael’s death in 2017.
Morgan wrote on Twitter: “Many thanks to Andrew Ridgeley for being such an insufferable dick today – much appreciated!”
Ridgeley repeatedly tried to change the subject of the conversation with Morgan and Susanna Reid back to a cycling challenge in Europe that he recently completed for charity.
When Morgan asked how he walked away from the music industry after Wham! split up Ridgeley replied briefly: “It was easy. It what was what I wanted. I was a little disenchanted with the industry. I had achieved my ambition. To be in a successful band.”
Morgan then asked Ridgeley for his thoughts on a story about his involvement in helping to write Michael’s 1984 hit single Careless Whisper.
