Supportive mum
At the end of April, Gabrielle waded into Piers’ argument with Lord Alan Sugar after he called her son an ‘utter disgrace’ and ‘bully’.
Lord Sugar tweeted a link to a report about Piers’ treatment of MP Victoria Atkins during their interview and wrote: “You are a utter disgrace @piersmorgan.
“I don’t know who the hell you think you are on your self appointed tirade against the GOV.
“I wonder if Mrs Morgan senior ( your mum ) is proud of you. You need help. You are a bully.”
Seeing red, Gabrielle hit back: “I am the proudest Mum in the world.”
