John Cleese appeared on the series to be interviewed in September 2018 on a day that Ben and Charlotte were presenting. He wouldn't appear on a day Piers Morgan presents, as the two men have a long-running antipathy, with Cleese even saying that he "truly detests" Morgan. When Cleese had previously said that he was leaving the UK because of the behaviour of the press, Morgan had offered to give Cleese a ride to the airport, describing him as a "whining old twerp".
