The latest puppet in the new Spitting Image series was revealed today live on Good Morning Britain.

Outspoken presenter Piers Morgan has joined the cast of more than 100 puppets – including a new-look Charles and Camilla, as well as Michael Gove and Dominic Raab.

The much anticipated show will return on October 3 with a 10-week series on BritBox. It was watched by 15 million viewers in its heyday.

“It’s time to come off furlough!”

Jeff Westbrook, whose credits include The Simpsons and Futurama, is leading the new writing team.

He said: “Everything the team have done on the new Spitting Image shows – the caricatures, puppets and satirical gags – have all been done in the public interest, as Boris might say: ‘Pro bono publico.’

“It’s time to come off furlough!” he added of the show’s return.

“The people have spoken and the puppets are ‘oven ready’.

Cabinet Ministers

So far puppets of Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings and Priti Patel have been revealed, with the Home Secretary cast as a vampire.

Dominic Raab was pictured in martial art gear, while Boris Johnson and his ‘evil Svengali’ Cummings look eerily ghost-like.

Reaction

Social media users were quick to react to the big Morgan unveil.

Gary Lineker’s response was particularly apt:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
