This is what happens when Piers Morgan sees Madonna twerk

She's one of the greatest living musical icons of our time - but Piers Morgan just cannot stand Madonna.

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 51, pretended to vomit into a sick bucket after watching the pop star gyrate in a clip from her upcoming performance on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, reported the Daily Mail.

"Sorry I feel slightly nauseous. Has anyone got a bucket? Hold on," he said, reaching under his desk for a metal bucket.

As he made sick noises into the vessel, Morgan's co-host Susanna Reid looked on, playfully unimpressed.

Later on in the show, Morgan played another clip of the 58-year-old showing her sexy side on Corden's show.

Piers slammed the singer, saying: "You can't be 58 and dancing around like that. Put it away!"

He was so passionate about his distaste for her moves that he tweeted a picture of himself pretending to vomit following the show.

He added the words: "Me after watching Madonna's #CarpoolKaraoke humping this morning. @GMB @susannareid100 #sickbucket."

He continued to tell viewers that his own mother had texted him to tell him not to show Madonna's clip.

"She said to me, 'Do not show it Piers, it's a family show.' And I always listen to her."

In the clip from Carpool Karaoke, which will air on Wednesday night in the US, Madonna wears tight black jeans and a leather jacket, while James asks her if she ever kissed the late Michael Jackson.

While her answer is yet to be revealed, she simply says to Corden: "You want me to kiss and tell?"
