Piers Morgan tries to catch out Love Island contestant with maths question, makes fool of himself

Alan Loughnane

Good morning Britain

Face, meet palm…

One of the most famous moments of Love Island so far involved a conversation between the contestants about Brexit and the possible effects it might have on the UK.

But before you go judging the standard of the conversation, you should give this a read, because it looks like Hayley knew possibly maybe not what she was talking about when she asked about trees.

Alas, people were not impressed with Hayley Hughes as she faced elimination (that’s what it is, right?) from the show.

She appeared on Good Morning Britain across from Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan on Wednesday morning and faced some questioning Morgan about things that weren’t necessarily related to the show.

Morgan has been a constant critic of the show online, and has been critical of the intelligence of the contestants, even as recently as this week.

So when Morgan saw his chance to try and catch out Hayley with a maths question, he grabbed the opportunity with both hands, it’s just a shame he didn’t really know what he was talking about.

Just for reference, the formal definition of Pythagoras’ Theorem is: In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

At least he’s self-aware..

Moral of the story…
