BEAN RUMBLED
Good Morning Britain presenters ‘fart’ live on air after Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid are morphed with Mr Bean
PIERS Morgan made viewers laugh on Good Morning Britain today when he said Dr Hilary Jones "farted" live on air.
Strange noises could be heard in the studio after photos appeared on screen of Piers and co-host Susanna Reid as Mr Bean characters, with Rowan Atkinson's alter ego being famous for his uncontrollable flatulence.

The hosts were treated to a Mr Bean makeover, and Piers revealed: "Susanna, this is where they 'Beanify' you by morphing you into Mr Bean.
"This is Mr Morph-Bean. So the idea is you look like Mr Bean. I've got a bit more hair. Very scary."
As farting noises could be heard over the segment, Piers shouted: "Hilary, Hilary! So many beans eaten! I've told you before about eating beans.
"That's why we put him 30ft away."

As Dr Hilary protested, Susanna joked: "That's the real reason for social distancing!"
Piers shared a snap of his Mr Bean makeover last night on Instagram, and branded it "creepy".
Other fans said he looked just like Ant McPartlin in the snap.

Mr Bean first aired more than 25 years ago.
Atkinson retired the character that had earned him £11million and grossed more than half a billion pounds at the box office just before the Olympics in 2012.
He had also enjoyed great commercial success with two Johnny English films about a bumbling spy.

The first in 2003 took £150million as did the 2011 sequel.
But Rowan said then: “The stuff that has been most commercially successful for me — basically quite physical, quite childish — I increasingly feel I’m going to do a lot less of.
“Apart from the fact that your physical ability starts to decline, I also think someone in their fifties being childlike becomes a little sad. You’ve got to be careful. I just feel I’m getting too old for it.”
