What did Piers Morgan say on GMB?
Hitting back at the criticism, Piers said: “No one should have to put up with people on Twitter spewing the kind of vile abuse and death threats that they have been spewing at Gemma Collins.
“The moment I announced I’m doing it, out it poured.
“People on Twitter saying, ‘I hope you die.’ This is a malevolent thing in our culture and society now.”
In addition, he shared: “There’s no regulation. If a newspaper did that or if we did that today and spent the next five minutes wishing people dead, we’d be taken off air.”
