Aubameyang's El Clasico masterclass leaves Piers Morgan branding Arteta "absurd"

Piers Morgan, who has been campaigning against transgender people competing in women's sport for years, took to Twitter in celebration."Finally, a ray of common sense shines up from the virtue-signalling insanity," he wrote jubilantly in view of almost eight million followers.If she had taken part, 21-year-old Emily would have been up against some formidable competition, including five-times Olympic champion Laura Kenny.However it is believed that those who were assigned male at birth face physical advantages against those who were born female, including levels of the hormone testosterone.Although the hormone is present in both males and females, it is men who have significantly higher amounts of it - and the substance, which promotes the building of muscle, is one of the factors in men having an athletic advantage.The Union Cycliste Internationale requires their contestants to have had testosterone levels that are below five nanomoles per litre for at least a year prior to competing.However the association has confirmed that Emily does not meet the criteria and British Cycling subsequently issued a statement to say so.It read: "We have now been informed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) that under their current guidelines Emily is not eligible to participate in this event."Piers had earlier hit out over the victory of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 500-yard freestyle swimming contest in the USA's NCAA Championships, deeming it "unfair".World Athletics President Lord Sebastian Coe has taken the same stance as Piers, arguing in his professional capacity that decisions to allow transgender athletes and sportspeople to compete is placing the "integrity" of women's sport under threat.He has insisted that

Piers Morgan has insisted he's "aging like a fine wine" after his wife Celia Walden sent him a cheeky birthday message on Instagram.The former Good Morning Britain host was celebrating his 58th birthday on Wednesday (March 30) when he received a message from his stunning wife Celia, who also happens to be a prominent journalist.However, it's clear Celia wasn't afraid to offer up some brutally-honest words for her spouse on his special day.Taking to Instagram, Celia shared a sweet throwback snap of her and her hubby Piers looking glam on a romantic night out together.Piers could be seen sporting a smart shirt and jacket combo, whereas Celia looked gorgeous in a dazzling red dress.Wishing her husband a happy birthday, Celia couldn't resist taking a cheeky dig at the TV presenter's age by telling him he was "only as old as the woman you feel", referring of course to her.By doing so, Celia was poking fun at herself as she suggested she wasn't "that young" herself.She wrote: "Happy Birthday Mr Morgan. You’re only as old as the woman you feel.

Piers Morgan has said that he would have slapped Alex Beresford if he hadn’t stormed off his presenting role on Good Morning Britain last year.The former GMB host quit the programme last year after ITV bosses asked him to apologise for comments made about Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview last year. Piers, 57, had got into an argument with weather presenter Alex Beresford, 41, on the show after Piers was called out for his criticism of Meghan Markle on the show, which led to the presenter storming off the set.

Piers Morgan celebrates his birthday, we take a look at some of his most explosive TV moments, with many of them happening live on Good Morning Britain with his ITV co-stars. The fiery journalist by trade has turned 57 and throughout his years he has spent many in a bust-up.Presenter Piers was well-known for rattling TV guests' feathers and always knew how to push the right buttons.From his dramatic TV exit following his controversial Meghan Markle comments to telling a plus-size model she was "glamourising obesity", we take a look at some of his most nail-biting rows of all time.Piers had a furious debate with a feminist on air after radio stations banned the Christmas song Baby It's Cold Outside from air.The GMB host debated the lyrics of the song with journalist Daisy Buchanan, however, but things got heated when he told her to "shut up."Daisy branded the song "sexual assault in process" after being antagonised by Piers.He quizzed her: "Daisy you're saying it's a sexual assault in process and want it to be banned forever?"Daisy replied: "I want radio station to stop playing this song until the world had changed, like a real drop in sexual assault statistics."He shook his head while they played a clip from the film where the song was performed.Piers quickly jabbed: "Yeah that really looked like a sexual assault to me, Daisy.

Piers Morgan claims he removed himself from the Good Morning Britain set last year to stop himself from slapping weatherman Alex Beresford after a fiery row over Meghan Markle. The 57-year-old news anchorman was forced to quit the popular ITV programme in 2021 after programme chiefs asked him to apologise for his comments on disbelieving Meghan Markle in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Piers Morgan, 56, famously walked off the Good Morning Britain set after getting into a heated row with weather presenter Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Oprah interview.The TalkTV presenter has taken to Twitter to ignite his row with Alex as he claims he walked off the Good Morning Britain set to "stop" himself "slapping" Alex.Piers has been very vocal about what happened at the recent Oscars with Will Smith and Chris Rock.He recently tweeted in view of his 7.9 million followers: "So much snowflakey b******t re Oscars smackdown."You can think Will Smith wrong to slap Chris Rock but still understand why he did it if he thought - incorrectly - Rock was deliberately mocking his wife’s alopecia in front of a gazillion people."I'd have probably done the same."Social media user BunksMillerTHFC then shared a picture of Piers walking off the Good Morning Britain set last year with the caption: "Course you would."Piers then promptly replied: "Ironically, I walked out to stop myself slapping him..."Many social media users took to the posts comments to continue the debate of how Will Smith should have acted.HealingMaerican said: "Just because you can understand why he did it doesn't make doing it right."He should have walked away or gone backstage and talked to him."Teoschar added: "Lose your job if you walk out in a rage or get an award if you channel that rage into violence."Hmm, decisions, decisions." (sic)The situations have been compared as Piers dramatically walked off stage after clashing with weatherman Alex.Alex said to him: "I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle.

Piers Morgan is never afraid to say what he thinks, and it seems his bedroom antics are no exception.In fact, the former Good Morning Britain host left his old co-star Susanna Reid red-faced on air with his rounds of racy confessions, including remarks about his manhood and sex-life with his wife Celia.Leaving no stone unturned, the bare-all TV broadcaster has made steamy admissions about Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson, reality queen Kim Kardashian and business beauty Paris Hilton.To celebrate Piers' 57th birthday today (March 30), Daily Star have ditched the traditional cake and rounded up some of his sauciest moments.Piers left his former GMB co-host Susanna Reid mortified when he made a priceless on-air remark about the size of his private parts in 2019.He was responding to a joke made by comedian Sue Perkins about him as she hosted the BAFTAs in 2018.Reid was so horrified that she quickly urged producers to "delete" the whole segment afterwards, but she couldn't help laughing either.Speaking about the moment, Piers said: "Old, smug Sue Perkins who presented last year’s BAFTA TV awards, not to mention we got two BAFTA nominations this year."He claimed she had been "elbowed off" presenting the show that year after she suggested the Fleet Street whizz was a "massive organ".When Susanna asked him why he'd be offended by references to a massive organ, Piers quipped: "Nothing, I just wondered how she knew."Gasping Susanna shouted "delete, delete, delete" as Piers laughed off his comment.Piers dropped another sex-related bombshell to Susanna live on air back in 2018, and viewers couldn't believe it.It all kicked off when Piers, Susanna and their co-star Charlotte Hawkins interviewed Pamela Anderson on the daytime chat

Piers Morgan landed himself in hot water after declaring he refused to believe Meghan Markle's claim that life in the Royal Family had left her suicidal - and he's dubbed her "Princess Pinocchio" ever since. However he took exception to a damning article he read which called him out for allegedly portraying himself as a victim of racism - and he was quick to let his 7.9 million Twitter followers know how he felt.The article, by Vanity Fair journalist Emily Kirkpatrick, blasted his claim he was "the real victim of 'racist bullying" after his criticism of Meghan Markle.The piece referenced a tweet Piers had posted, raging: "Can all the Meghan/Harry fans currently abusing me with stuff like ‘shut the f*** up white man’ please stop trying to silence my voice with racist bullying?"However Piers hit back, reposting it with a personal response to the writer."Oh, I wasn’t a victim," he told Emily adamantly."I was just called a racist bully - and lost my job - for refusing to believe a proven liar bullying the Royal Family with fake racism smears."He added: "You seem to be trying the same tactic, which is a shame because I’m told you’re a talented writer."As the article stated, Piers had previously had an on-air debate with activist Dr.

Piers Morgan is back on air following his dramatic resignation from ITV's Good Morning Britain for refusing to apologise to Meghan Markle in a scrap over the Royal Family.This time, he has turned his attention to Boris Johnson, condemning the lockdown parties at 10 Downing Street, for which 20 fines have today been issued by the Met police.On the show's Twitter account, @PiersUncensored, the latest tweet reads: "Piers has his say on the "absolutely disgraceful" lockdown parties that took place in Downing Street."Should Boris Johnson step down if he gets one of the 20 fines being issued by Met Police?"The accompanying video, which racked up almost 25,000 views in a matter of a few hours, tackled the contentious topic of "Lockdown Parties"."Every one of us made huge sacrifices," Piers reasoned, "and some people couldn't see our dying relatives."I think one of the worst things that any government can do is, in a national crisis, order the public of whatever country it may be to do one thing and then secretly themselves - the very people issuing the orders - do another," he announced in the show's trailer."This lockdown party that has rocked Downing Street...

Oscar-winner Will Smith saw red at the weekend when comic Chris Rock appeared to poke fun at his wife's alopecia condition with a "GI Jane" joke - and stormed the stage to slap him across the face.

"This is going downhill fast," I tweeted about the Oscars last night as it slumped into its habitual third hour tedium. Minutes later, my tweet was proven spectacularly wrong, or possibly spectacularly right depending on your viewpoint, as furious Will Smith marched on stage and slapped Chris Rock in the face, before stomping back to his seat and hurling 4-letter abuse at him.

Piers Morgan, 56, spoke out yesterday on Will Smith's Oscars slap saying he was just "defending his girl".The former Good Morning Britain presenter has taken to Twitter again today to say the bold statement that people are asking for more "draconian action" against Will than Vladimir Putin.Piers took to Twitter early hours this morning to leave the very bold statement.In view of his 7.9 million followers he said: "Fascinating to see many people on here furiously demanding more draconian action against Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock than they've demanded against Vladimir Putin for launching war against a whole country #Perspective."Many social media users rushed to the post's comments to voice their opinion on Piers' daring statement.AClar16 said: "Er..no, not really. Nobody is advocating giving Javelin missiles to Chris Rock." (sic)PearcesVoice added: "Fascinating that you think they're remotely related."Davis36_julie commented: "He should not have hit him, however why are people focusing on Will Smith's face?"Why are they not commenting on how Jada looked? It was obvious she was hurt."Why was it okay for Chris Rock to take the mick out of her health? Has Chris Rock apologised?"In his column, published yesterday Piers admitted he wasn't surprised that Will responded how he did to Chris' comment.The outspoken broadcaster was describing the moment he met Will."Before we started, [Will] warned me: 'Don’t upset my wife, Mr Morgan, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry,'" Piers recalled.He continued: “And when Will Smith, who’d initially laughed at Rock’s routine, saw how upset his wife was by the comment, it stung him too.

Piers Morgan has supported Will Smith, saying he ‘probably would have done the same’ after the actor slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars.Chris, 57, made a joke about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair, with Will, 53, storming the stage and smacking him, before swearing at him from his seat. He’s since apologised.Jada, 50, has alopecia, but it’s reported that Chris did not know about her condition.Tweeting a photo of the already infamous slap, Piers, 56, wrote: ‘So much snowflakey bulls**t re Oscars smackdown.

Good Morning Britain host, Piers Morgan, 56, sympathises with world famous actor Will Smith, 53, after he struck comedian Chris Rock in the face during the surprising assault in front of fellow celebrities.The shocking moment was broadcast to the world during the Oscars award ceremony on Sunday night (March 27).

Harry’s decision comes after he expressed his concerns about the lack of security available for his family while they are in the UK.He is involved in a legal battle with the Home Office and is arguing that his private security team cannot match police protection granted to full-time royals.A legal representative said in a statement in January: “Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life."He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats."It adds that Harry wants to personally pay for police protection “not impose on the taxpayer”.Since he and Meghan moved to California two years ago, Harry has returned to the UK twice: for Prince Philip’s funeral and for the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statueTheir son Archie, two, has not returned to the country since their departure and their baby daughter Lilibet has never visited, nor met, her great-grandmother, the Queen.

Piers Morgan has hit out at "shameful" Prince Harry who is not attending the memorial service for his late grandfather, Prince Philip.Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will not be attending the event as they are "unable to return to his home" as it is too dangerous for the Sussexes following an incident in July 2021 when the Duke was chased by hoards of paparazzi upon his return to the country.The couple lost their right to protection from the Met Police after stepping down as senior working royals in January 2020.Instead, Harry and Meghan have remained in California with their two children while members of the British Royal Family descend on Westminster Abbey to honour the late Duke of Edinburgh.In a scathing attack, Piers said: "Imagine missing your mentor grandfather's memorial service because you're such a spoiled brat you'd rather sulk in your Californian mansion than be there to support your grandmother? Shameful."A statement released on behalf of Harry read: "A spokesperson for the Sussexes confirms that Prince Harry will not be returning to the UK for the Service of Thanksgiving for the life of Prince Philip on March 29."He does, however, hope to visit the Queen as soon as possible."Members of the extended royal family, including Lady Sarah Chatto, her sons Arthur and Sam, Zenouska Mowatt, Lady Amelia Windsor Helen Taylor, Flora Ogilvy and her brother all joined The Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex Westminster Abbey.Harry is currently involved in a battle with the Home Office over his right to protection from specialist police officers from The Met, due to his claim to the throne.
