He's been one of the faces of Good Morning Britain since the end of 2015.

And Piers Morgan has now signed a further deal to extend his contract to 2021 - as was announced by his co-anchor Susanna Reid on Tuesday's edition of the ITV morning show.

Piers was clearly thrilled by the news, seen chortling and dancing in his seat.

But his co-stars were less than enthused, all staring on with annoyance as the announcement was made.

As Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours by Stevie Wonder played, Piers jiggled around as the others - including Charlotte Hawkins, Richard Arnold and Laura Tobin - rolled their eyes.

'Do I hear joy?' Piers asked.

'You hear the sound of me rolling around in glass!' Entertainment correspondent Richard remarked.

'Richard Arnold is heading to [popular suicide spot] Beachy Head, Hawkins is having a horror, Reid is not happy,' Piers laughed, before turning to Laura and asking: 'Laura, are you happy?'

The camera panned to the weather girl across the studio who stared unimpressed down the lens.

'Everyone is thrilled I'm staying with ITV, with Good Morning Britian. I'm happy!' he added.

Fuming: Piers turned to Laura and asked: 'Laura, are you happy?' The camera panned to the weather girl across the studio who stared unimpressed down the lens

Piers guest-hosted a week in 2015 - leading to him being offered a contract as one of the show's principal anchors.

The news about Piers comes a month after it was announced that from 6 January 2020, an extra 30 minutes will be added onto the show, which will see it airing until 9AM.

Prior to this, it ended at 8:30AM, with Lorraine airing afterwards, before The Jeremy Kyle Show and the This Morning.

The Jeremy Kyle Show was axed this year, following the suicide of a contributor, replaced tentatively with episodes of Judge Rinder.

This led to the shake-up of ITV's morning schedule.
