The picture was reshared on social media by Gary Lineker, who mocked Morgan as he tweeted that it was “the first time I can recall a Spitting Image puppet to be actually quite flattering”.
“I’ve waited all my adult life to have Spitting Image do a puppet of me and then last night I got sent the image and I was like, ‘You know what, I could’ve waited another 40 years for this,’” Morgan said.
Other celebrities being parodied in puppet form for Spitting Image include Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, RuPaul, Adele, Elon Musk, Beyonce, and James Corden.
One famous name being given the Spitting Image treatment is Morgan, who was brought face-to-face with an image of his puppet during this morning’s (30 September) episode of Good Morning Britain.
