Lisa Armstrong mocked Piers Morgan for his ‘Good Morning Britain’ make-up gaffe.
The 55-year-old TV presenter was forced to do his own make-up for the breakfast TV show because of social distancing rules due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Lisa admitted she couldn’t resist poking fun at him when it went wrong.
Speaking about how the global health crisis has affected her work, Lisa told the Royal Television Society: "I’ve not done anything for months – people are having to do their own make-up. When Piers [Morgan] did his for ‘Good Morning Britain’, I texted him and asked: ‘What the hell’s happened to you?’ People are now appreciating what make-up artists do."
Lisa left ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ in 2018 and is currently head of make-up and hair for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, which she labelled the "best show on TV".
She said: "On a Saturday, we start at 8:30am and wrap at 11.30pm. During the day, the celebs and their partners are constantly rehearsing and whizzing around the dance floor: the rollers are flying out, the lip-gloss is getting smudged and the eyelashes are hanging off.
"Dancers, especially the boys, sweat like you wouldn’t believe. The team is constantly on the go. We do the live show and then, after a break, record the results show. And then we’re back in the make-up room to clean everything ready for the following week.
"’Strictly’s the best show in TV entertainment – you can be so creative. The only downsides are the long hours and the lost weekends. But – you know what? – who cares! I love the job."
