Dan Walker had been invited to go wild swimming with his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, but had to decline - and Sara Davies wasn't accepting his excuse.The sheepish BBC Breakfast star attempted to explain away the situation on his Instagram Stories.Talking during a special Q&A session on social media, he was quizzed on whether he'd be willing to brave the water."Would you ever go wild-swimming like the Strictly tour lot?" the question read."I was going to, actually, when we were in Sheffield," Dan recalled, referencing his hometown."I was invited down by the Reverend Kate Botley and Sara - but I just couldn't get back from work in time."It looked like fun, and I'd love to have a go."However, he added of his ill-preparedness: "Appropriate footwear always essential when wild swimming, I think!"If the luxurious-looking work shoes he has posted on Instagram to show off his shoe-sock combinations are anything to go by, they would have been nowhere near casual enough for a sporty swimming trip.However, he also reposted Sara's feisty assessment of the situation, where she'd written: "Yeah we invited him and he totally flaked on us."This excuse about not getting back from work on time is total BS - he chickened out!" she added, using a chicken emoji to punctuate her point.Dan appeared to own up to his antics, adding a GIF which read: "GUILTY."However, in previous Q&A footage from yesterday, Dan took the moment to present himself as courageous.He told fans: "The best thing about being a journalist is the opportunity to be a sword for those without weapons and a shield for those who can't defend themselves."However, his job wasn't always deeply serious, as he demonstrated when he revealed one of his embarrassing moments in the

Piers Morgan returned to morning telly and told viewers of his plans to make it a permanent one.

Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan has savagely branded Prince Harry a "shameless, deluded, woefully entitled hypocrite" in his latest column for The Sun.The journalist, who left his GMB presenting job in 2020 after being called out for criticisms he made against Meghan Markle, appears to be angered over Prince Harry’s request for police protection for his family when they visit the UK.Piers, 56, is an outspoken critic of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, whom he once accused of lying about having suicidal thoughts after the actress appeared in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.Now, Piers has claimed that the Queen’s grandson has “piped up from his Californian mansion” at the time where she needs it the least. Piers suggested that Harry was making everything "more difficult" for his grandmother "during the most difficult times of her life".Piers began by saying that he took issue with Prince Harry and Meghan’s television appearances at a time when Prince Philip was “dying in hospital”. He went on to explain that, in the light of Prince Andrew’s current sexual abuse allegations which the Duke of York has denied, Harry was once “rubbing salt” in the Queen’s “emotional wounds”. Harry’s threat of legal action after not being granted British police protection while in the UK, Piers argues, is causing his grandmother undue distress during another “difficult” time. Piers said: “The petulant prince is threatening legal action - is there ever a time when he isn’t? Unless the Home Office caves and restores the royal security he enjoyed before his dramatic flounce to America.“If he goes through with his threat, it will be the first time any royal has ever sued Her Majesty’s Government, and, of course,

Piers Morgan, 56, will appear on BBC One’s Sunday Morning show with Sophie Raworth tomorrow at 9am.The former Good Morning Britain presenter has hinted that he has something in store for Boris Johnson, asking him to tune into the broadcast.Tweeting out to his 7.9 million followers, Piers quipped about coming out of his “enforced retirement”. He wrote: “UPDATE: It’s been a quiet news week, so I thought I’d come out of (enforced) breakfast show retirement and do the paper review on BBC1’s new Sunday Morning show with @sophieraworth.”“Tune in from 9am… especially you, Prime Minister @BorisJohnson,” he added somewhat cryptically. Piers’ followers had a mixed reaction to the post, with some eagerly anticipating his return, while others seemed unimpressed by the journalist. “Something big is coming isn't it please say yes,” Maggie1152 speculated.“Not expecting something big to come up in time for this are we?” asked TheMrAlex6.“Oh please bring up Johnson isolating (hiding from the public) when he doesn't need to,” Anne Milne pleaded. “Oh what a nice little Sunday morning treat, don’t hold back I’ve missed you honest opinions and saying how it is!” wrote Nikki Middleton.“Oh exciting, hope you give Boris a good grilling be it a review,” added Steve Gale.“Me too, so miss Piers on TV, love him or hate him..he always delivers a controversial debate,” mused Sara Nicholls. Meanwhile, others weren’t interested, including Minesawater who wrote: “Nah, you’re alright, mate. I’d rather watch a few episodes of Mrs Brown’s boys.”“I look forward to you flouncing off set again,” Paul C added in reference to the moment Piers left Good Morning Britain after being called out on his comments against Meghan Markle.

Loose Women star Denise Welch, 63, has hit back at Piers Morgan, 56, after she took to Twitter to comment on the controversy surrounding the purported Downing Street lockdown parties. Piers had claimed that the Government’s alleged gatherings that took place during lockdown would make “covid sceptics and anti-lockdowners feel vindicated”.In view of his 7.9 million followers, he typed: “The worst thing about all these illicit Downing Street parties is they will make covid sceptics and anti-lockdowners feel vindicated in their suspicions that the virus was never that dangerous or why would the people running the country all be ignoring the rules so brazenly?”Denise fired back at Piers while sharing a screengrab of his tweet with her 511,000 followers.She penned: “Anti lockdowners are not Covid sceptics Piers.“We are people who knew that such drastic action would cause horrendous collateral damage as it has.“We also knew that Covid, although desperately serious for some, was not to most people as reflected in the [governments] blatant lack of fear.”But Denise’s remarks divided Twitter users, who responded to her tweet with their own arguments.PaulSmith1961 tweeted: “Well said Denise - unfortunately for Piers, he’s always been on the wrong side here - he’s jumped on the righteous bandwagon and recently he’s been trying to get off that horse - good luck with that one.“I’m triple jabbed and that’s a personal choice and the way it should be!”lisaweider said: “My Dad died of Covid.

Piers Morgan, 56, has often spoken out about how he feels for the Queen and all she's been through over the past few years; marred with alleged scandals, racism claims and the stripping of former titles.

Piers Morgan, 56, issued a blistering review of Prince Andrew’s situation following the latest ruling in the civil case being brought against him by Virginia Giuffre.The Queen stripped the Duke of York today of all his military titles and royal patronages.The TV presenter took to his Twitter account, where he boasts a following of 7.9 million, to weigh in on the latest update.He shared a statement from Buckingham Palace that read: “With the Queen's approval and agreement, The Duke of York's military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to the Queen."The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen."The former Good Morning Britain host commented: “Utter humiliation for Andrew but he only has himself to blame - and far worse is to come if he continues to try to stonewall his way out of any accountability re the serious allegations against him & his relationship with Epstein/Maxwell.”Within just two hours of posting, Piers’ tweet had already racked up more than 1,000 likes and 80 retweets.One Twitter user pointed out that the ongoing situation could be affecting the Queen.Jodie88883853 tweeted: “How horrible in the later years of her life HMTQ has to deal with so much personal sadness.“We all hope when get to this point in our life there is some sense of peace!” (sic)Prince Andrew will no longer be able to use his HRH title, Buckingham Palace confirmed.It follows Judge Lewis A Caplan ruling that the civil case against Prince Andrew can proceed to trial.The Duke’s lawyers had previously attempted to get the case dismissed.The royal’s defence team cited a 2009 deal signed by Ms Giuffre and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which saw Ms

Piers Morgan, 56, has made his opinion on anti-vaxxers very clear, especially over the past year or so during the coronavirus vaccine roll-out. But even he drew the line at mocking their Covid deaths.It comes after Pulitzer prize-winning columnist and author Michael Hiltzik, wrote a new piece for the Los Angeles Times about how to react when known anti-vaxxers who preached to others about not getting the jab then die from the illness.It was titled: "Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary."After sharing it on Twitter, Hiltzik was inundated with an influx of messages with people asking if he was "insane or evil".Piers also waded into the debate, adding his own opinion on the "unpopular" piece.He replied: "Appallingly heartless take."Nobody’s Covid death should ever be mocked."They are all tragic victims, particularly so if they’ve been brainwashed into rejecting a vaccine that could have saved them."In Hiltzik's column, he referenced one individual in particular, Kelly Ernby.The former Orange County GOP Assembly candidate wasn't a prominent name on the national stage, but her death propelled her to be a much-discussed topic on social media.She was not vaccinated against Covid when she died last week, and as an outspoken critic of vaccine mandates, the internet exploded with comments blaming her for her own death.But it appears to have highlighted tensions between how we view mandates, with some believing they are Government overreach and others who see vaccines as vital to ending the pandemic.Many rushed to the comments section of Piers' post to share their views on the situation.Kenyanvoices penned: "Or they had taken several jabs that had no effect whatsoever.

Piers Morgan has hit out at Prime Minister Boris Johnson after reports surfaced claiming that Downing Street staffers were sent an email inviting them to "make the most of the lovely weather" at a garden party at No. 10 during the first lockdown.The outspoken TV personality, 56, didn't hold back as he explained that on the day of the reported party, he held a socially-distanced reunion with his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen in two months due to strict Covid restrictions.In view of his 7.9 million followers, the former newspaper editor blasted the PM for his "hypocrisy".Piers wrote: "On the day (May20, 2020) that@BorisJohnson attended his No10 party where 100 people were invited to ‘bring a bottle’, I met my eldest son for first time in 2 months, & we stayed this far apart, without anyone else there, because that was BORIS JOHNSON’S BL***Y RULE.The star shared a snap of him and his son Spencer reunited outdoors.Donning a pair of sunglasses, Piers grinned happily as he pointed to his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen in 60 days, who was giving both thumbs up to the camera.In a later tweet, Piers once again slammed the PM for not following the rules he had set for the nation.The former Life Stories host wrote: "We all have similar stories, some obviously deeply distressing involving sick and dying loved ones."Britain’s Prime Minister separated families for months on end, often in their darkest hours, but secretly ignored all those rules himself to party."Just outrageous hypocrisy," he ended his tweet.According to a leaked email, Downing Street staff were invited to a garden party at No.

Piers Morgan went on the social media platform today, to welcome Louis O'Brien to the team after the latter shared a tweet that said he was leaving the Beeb to work with the 56-year-old broadcaster. Louis, who worked as a producer at BBC's The Papers, posted a photo of himself in front of Broadcasting House as he bid farewell to his job."Today marks the end of my BBC journey.

Piers Morgan, 56, is currently preparing for the launch of TalkTV where he will be presenting on the new Rupert Murdoch-owned channel.This however, has not stopped Piers taking to Twitter to voice his opinion on Novak Djokovic's mother's statement regarding her son, who was subject to "torture" after being denied entry to Australia.The Chief Sports writer for The Telegraph, Oliver Brown tweeted Dijina Djokovic's statement earlier today.He said: "Dijina Djokovic: 'Novak was subject to torture, harassment.

Piers Morgan, 56, penned a furious letter to Boris Johnson, highlighting his "ineptitude" as Prime Minister, raging at him for his dealings with the coronavirus pandemic, and pointing out various other Government failings over his two-years in the hot seat.The former Good Morning Britain star also demanded he be the first to appear on his new TV show, which is due to premiere very soon.In his latest column for The Sun, Piers titled the piece: "Dear Boris, stop being a shambles and fix things or admit being PM is too much for you and quit, yours Piers Morgan."The uncensored letter referenced the 201-day Government boycott of GMB, where the former editor of The Spectator magazine (1999-2005) refused to answer Piers' repeated calls to appear on the show.Boris has been accused of "ducking interviews" after not featuring on the programme for almost four years.He penned: "It was pathetic to watch a fellow ­journalist run and hide in a fridge to avoid answering my questions on Good Morning Britain, and boycott shows like GMB for months on end for fear of a tough interrogation."Grow a pair, man! (And you can start by being one of my first guests on my new global TV show...)"He added: "You wrote an excellent book about your hero Sir Winston Churchill which lauded his courage under fire.

Piers Morgan has branded the Prime Minister “a shambles” in his latest column. Piers also claimed that Boris Johnson has “destroyed trust” between himself and the public that he is supposed to represent. In his sizzling new column for The Sun, Piers said that Boris was “officially a shambles”, despite admitting that he preferred the Prime Minister to what he referred to as “the dreary, joy-sucking woke brigade”. Under the heading “you have destroyed trust”, Piers then got into the reasoning behind his frustration at Boris. “Let’s be frank,” he wrote.

Lord Alan Sugar, 74, has claimed that he will continue to criticise Piers Morgan when he believes the former Good Morning Britain presenter is out of line. As The Apprentice returns to the BBC for its 16th series, the billionaire has shown he doesn’t plan on shying away from confrontation with Piers, despite the two outspoken characters recently patching up their relationship.The Apprentice returned on Thursday, with a fresh batch of 16 hopeful candidates battling it out for Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment.In an interview, the business titan admitted that he couldn’t picture Piers as a panel member on the popular BBC showWhen asked if the journalist might make a good stand-in for Apprentice aide Claude Littner, who is absent this series, Lord Sugar made a few jabs at Piers in his reply. “Oh my God, can you imagine? I don’t think so.

Piers Morgan, 56, reacted to a photograph of Novak Djokovic surrounded by young tennis players which was shared the day after his lawyers claim he tested positive for Covid.The photograph was taken at an awards ceremony in Belgrade, Serbia, and Djokovic can be seen standing with young people who are holding tennis trophies.It is unclear when the event took place, but the photographs were shared by the Tennis Association of Serbia on December 17, as reported by Sky News.Djokovic’s lawyers say he had tested positive for Covid a day earlier.They are reportedly planning to use the test in question to validate Djokovic’s medical exemption which would enable him to enter Australia without being vaccinated.Upon hearing the news, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to jibe at the tennis champion.The journalist wrote: “‘Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive…”The quote comes from author Sir Walter Scott’s nineteenth century poem Marmion.Piers has previously praised Australia for denying Djokovic’s entry into the country.He told his 7.9 million followers: “The #Djokovic saga is not about whether you believe in Covid vaccines, but whether you believe famous sports stars should play by the same rules as everyone else.“He has the right not to be jabbed, and Australia has the right to chuck him out for making a dodgy visa application."The 20-time Grand Slam winner is still being held in a Melbourne detention centre after his visa was cancelled upon arrival into the country.He was told he didn't meet the country's entry requirements due to his vaccine status.Djokovic has not revealed whether he has been vaccinated or not, although he has been critical of mandated vaccines in the past.Court documents released on
