Piers Morgan news: What did Denise Welch say?

Taking to Twitter yesterday (March 11), Denise appeared to warn her fellow ITV stars.

According to the Daily Star, she wrote: “To those close colleagues defending Piers and saying what a great guy he is just remember… I have receipts!!”

However, it didn’t take long before Denise deleted her comment after two minutes.

Meanwhile, she told the publication: “I rage tweeted then thought better of it. Commenting no further.”

During yesterday’s show (March 12), Kate Garraway and Dr Hilary Jones paid tribute to their former co-star.

Kate said the presenter had been “very supportive of me personally” and their “friendship will go on”.

Piers vs Denise

Meanwhile, it isn’t the first time Piers and Denise have come to blows.

Back in September, the pair clashed after Piers called her a “COVID denier” and insisted her views on the virus were “dangerous”.

The Loose Women star had previously argued that the media and government had overreacted to the virus.

At the time, Piers wrote on Twitter: “Dumb, deluded & dangerous Covid-deniers like Denise Welch need to stop being given airtime.

“Her idiotic, ill-informed ramblings  will cost lives by persuading people to think the virus isn’t a threat.”

Following their row, Denise took a break from social media.

So, it comes as no surprise that Denise was pleased to see the back of Piers following his comments on Meghan.

On Wednesday, she tweeted: “Those people saying ‘Piers is a great guy, he just speaks his truth’.

“Can I ask you this. If Meghan said she’d had a serious physical illness & received no help & Piers had called her a liar would you publicly defend him???? Wow.”

ED! has contacted Denise’s rep for further comment.
