The television personality joked that he so far up the plane, he was almost in the pilots’ cockpit, he penned: ‘Any nearer the front, I’d be flying it. Take me to Hollywood, @british_airways – the Oscars await!’

It comes after Piers left his co-host Susanna shocked on Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women where they joined the feisty panellists for a candid chat about all things Good Morning Britain.

Susanna had no idea that Piers was flying out to LA on Wednesday night and joked that she was still stuck at work for the rest of the week.

After revealing he was jetting out on Wednesday evening, Susanna quipped: ‘Oh have you? I’ve got a few more days at work for me!’

With Piers jokingly replying: ‘Susanna is much further down the plane than me!’

The two hosts jetted to Los Angeles last year to report on the 2019 Oscars with Susanna joking that they were a ‘glamorous mess’.

Talking to the Loose Women panellists on Tuesday, she admitted that she broke her strict no-alcohol diet plan during the festivities with margaritas and red wine aplenty.

She said: ‘I thought: “I’m out in LA, Hollywood, it’s the Oscars!’

With Piers adding: ‘The moment we get back, she’s a vegan, no drink, doesn’t party or enjoy herself!’

Yet despite his teetotal co-host, the presenter revealed that the duo will be joined by Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, as well as Dame Joan Collins, with Piers joking: ‘I will not be short of drinking partners on the panel!’

Talking about the interviews which will take place, Coleen Nolan quipped to Piers: ‘Are you actually going to shut up and let them talk?’

With Piers adding: ‘Honestly, it depends if I think they are a bigger star than me. I will probably spend most of the time talking!’ 

Oo-er! Also during the Loose Women appearance, Piers appeared to take a thinly-veiled swipe at Phillip Schofield while the This Morning star's reported nemesis Ruth Langsford giggled alongside

The GMB presenter seemed to make a bold statement about the This Morning host, who is said to be at the centre of a civil war behind the scenes at ITV with Ruth being involved. 

The journalist quipped: ‘Everyone thinks nice guy Tom Hanks, people are thinking are they that nice? We all know people who are supposed to be nice in the business, don’t we Ruth? I wasn’t talking about Ruth – Eamonn will like that one.’

Uh oh! The GMB presenter seemed to make a bold statement about the This Morning host, who is said to be at the centre of a civil war behind the scenes at ITV with Ruth being involved

As Piers descends into guffawing laughter, the rest of the Loose Women panel appear to think he was taking a dig at Ruth. 

He swiftly made the point that he wasn’t talking about Ruth – leading to the assumption from viewers that he was talking about Philllip. 

Ruth and her husband Eamonn Holmes have reportedly been involved in a high-profile rift with Phillip, 57, after he interrupted her while she was presenting a preview for the show via a video link-up last year. 

Ruth is said to have made a formal complaint against him due to the ‘toxic’ backstage atmosphere the alleged feud has created.
