Piers Morgan wants Ewan McGregor to “come and have it out” with him following the actor’s Good Morning Britain snub this week.
Ewan opted not to show up for his interview on the ITV programme at the last minute due to the host’s comments about last weekend’s women’s march.
Piers also said he thinks Ewan might have been trying to drum up publicity for his new film T2 Trainspotting, which he was set to talk about in the interview before refusing to appear.

Piers told the Press Association at the National Television Awards – where he was joined by his GMB co-host Susanna Reid: “I’ve always got on quite well with Ewan McGregor, I don’t know what he was doing.
“He might have been trying to promote the movie, I don’t know, but it was very odd behaviour.
“If you want to have an argument with me about the women’s march – and we weren’t even going to mention it to him, he was there to talk about his movie – come on, come on and have it out with me, be a man Ewan!”
