Rude.
We all know that Piers Morgan loves nothing more than slamming celebrities.
Sometimes we agree with him, but most of the time we absolutely don’t.
And now, he’s gone too far.
During Good Morning Britain today, Piers and his co-host Susanna Reid announced that they would be doing a special episode for The Oscars, live from LA.
Piers said:
“We have exciting news, we are going to cover the Oscars. We are going to be live in Hollywood covering all things fashion and stars. This is going to be fun!”
“We’re looking forward to this. It’s going to be a big night… after that we are going to hit Hollywood hard.”
The conversation went on to discuss the fact that the awards won’t have a presenter this year.
Piers Morgan suggested that Ricky Gervais be called in to host the awards:
“Ricky Gervais should host the Oscars, let’s be honest. Ricky Gervais should be parachuted in, to rip them all to pieces.”
And then Susanna pointed out that Ellen DeGeneres would be a great fit for the role.
That’s where the shade came in.
Piers responded to Susanna, saying:
“Oh don’t be ridiculous, she is a hopeless, hopeless host. Sycophantic…”
Sorry mate, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
