The latest puppet in the new Spitting Image series was revealed today live on Good Morning Britain.
Outspoken presenter Piers Morgan has joined the cast of more than 100 puppets – including a new-look Charles and Camilla, as well as Michael Gove and Dominic Raab.

“It’s time to come off furlough!” he added of the show’s return.
“The people have spoken and the puppets are ‘oven ready’.

“There will be tongue-lashings from our weather girl, Greta Thunberg, you’ll be knocked out by Tyson Fury and dazzled and amazed by Beyonce and Herr Jurgen Klopp.”
