Removing Broken Pipe

Broke the shower pipe off. 😞

Some time ago there was a post on the best way to remove the broken metal pipe shower insert from the PVC pipe.

Anyone got a suggestion on how to do it?

My way would be to insert two crossed over flat-blade screwdrivers and turn.

all depends what you have handy, how strong the metal is, and how tight it is in there
if you cannot put something in there to get good enough grip to unscrew
just get some thin pliers and slowly just bend the metal inwards if it is thin enough
have you first tried seeing if you can remove any of that PTFE tape?
if you have a dremmel or something similar you could carefully cut it out
