Piers Morgan admits to being

Some social media users were less than impressed with Piers’ mistake, after he spent the last year reporting on the pandemic and hitting out at so-called “covidiots” on GMB.

One fan tweeted: “All the stuff you go on about COVID 19 calling everyone idiots and all the bad news you constantly report and you don’t even wear a mask.”

Another added: “Surely an apology of your reckless behaviour should be made on GMB at the earliest opportunity….. and then banned for 6 months.”

However, others defended Piers over his error, with one saying: “Give him a break. We’ve all forgotten sometimes. That’s totally different from completely breaking the rules and going to house parties etc.”

A second fan commented: “Everyone forgets at some point. I challenge every single person to say hand on heart that at some point they haven’t said ‘oh my mask!’ Stop being ridiculous people!”
