Piers Morgan has apologised to Ed Sheeran after his Twitter account was hacked and posted abusive messages referring to the singer last month.
The former Good Morning Britain (GMB) presenter, who has 8.3 million followers on the social media site, described the posts on Boxing Day as “abusive nonsense”.
According to reports, Morgan’s account shared posts containing false information, racial slurs and abusive messages directed at the late Queen.
By the way, apologies for all the abusive nonsense posted on my feed after I was hacked (yes, yes, do your own jokes) on Boxing Day, and in particular to @edsheeran who I think is a very gifted singer-songwriter with a fine head of hair, not a ‘ginger pr*ck’. pic.twitter.com/VRECfac342

Morgan shared his first posts on Twitter since Boxing Day on Sunday night, criticising the Duke of Sussex following his interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby.

He joined TalkTV in April 2022 as host of its Uncensored show after quitting GMB following an on-air clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford over the Sussexes’ interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey.
