Piers Morgan hits back at death hoax as he blasts ‘d***heads’ for telling celebs

Piers Morgan responded to a sick death hoax with a Twitter firestorm on Friday.

The presenter, 55, reassured his fans he was as healthy as ever with a scathing tweet directed at the pranksters spreading the malicious gossip.

Good Morning Britain’s star launched a foul mouthed tirade on the “little d***heads” reaching out to his celeb pals for a fake obituary.

Piers claimed the pranksters had planned to get a tape contribution for the fake obituary from his famous friends.

Naturally, he was absolutely seething about it.

He wrote: “To the pranksters currently contacting all my famous friends asking them to tape a contribution to my obituary for ITN… maybe stop being annoying little d***heads?”

Piers has returned to the UK after his sunny holiday to the south of France.

The dad narrowly escaped the new quarantine rules which came into play after he had returned back to home turf.

Already he’s been busy enjoying a few pints down the pub.

But Piers also revealed he had taken a speed awareness course online on Zoom.

This meant he avoided a fine and points on his licence after being busted for speeding.

Piers will return to work on Good Morning Britain on the first of September.

The star will have had six weeks of holiday over the summer.

He will be joined by his co-star Susanna Reid on his return.
