Everything you need to know about the controversial cartoon
A CARTOON lampooning Piers Morgan's interview with the US President has caused both mirth and outrage.
But just what exactly is the offending picture, and what have people said about it?
What is The Mash Report's Piers Morgan and Donald Trump cartoon?
Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan secured the first international interview with Donald Trump since his inauguration in January 2017.
The satirical BBC2 show The Mash Report mocks Morgan's supposedly sycophantic attitude towards Trump with an graphic cartoon.
On Thursday night, host Rachel Parris points the audience to a picture of Piers Morgan performing a sex act on his interviewee.
She tells the audience: "In the Trump interview, the staging hinted at a greater intimacy between the two men," adding: "So Piers from the outset has his face firmly lodged in Trump's petite r*****," to roars of laughter from the audience."
The cartoon has drawn criticisms of homophobia and a "double standard" from the BBC, with Piers Morgan saying that a similar cartoon of Hillary Clinton and a female presenter unthinkable.
"If Trump tweeted an image like this depicting Hillary Clinton & a female interviewer, all those currently celebrating/retweeting it would erupt with outraged cries of 'Sexist!' 'Misogynist!' 'Homophobic!' - led by the BBC," he wrote, adding: "Liberal hypocrisy in all its unedifying glory".
