Piers Morgan has ripped apart Dominic Cummings' "absurd" excuses for breaking lockdown rules and ordered him to "stop lying".
The Good Morning Britain host, 55, live tweeted as Prime Minister Boris Johnson's top aide gave a press conference defending his decision to drive to Durham to stay at his parents' country estate.
Cummings insisted he made the trip after his wife had fallen sick with suspected coronavirus symptoms because he wanted someone on hand to look after his four year old son if they both fell ill.
During the address, Cummings also explained his trip to Barnard Castle with his wife and son during their stay in County Durham was to test his eyesight - which had suffered during his own battle with the virus.
