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

Nearly all of the cast members from Fantastic Beasts: The Secret of Dumbledore were in attendance for the world premiere.

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.
