Lord Alan Sugar Brands Piers Morgan A 'Hypocrite' Over Coronavirus Test
Lord Sugar has reignited his long-standing feud with Piers Morgan, branding the Good Morning Britain presenter a “hypocrite” after he underwent a test for coronavirus.
On Sunday night, Piers told his followers that he’d be missing the following day’s edition of GMB, as he was awaiting the results of a coronavirus test, having showed a “mild symptom” of Covid-19 for two days prior.
He has since revealed that his test came back negative, assuring his followers he was entitled to take one despite numbers being limited, because he is a “government-designated essential worker”.
However, following his negative result, Lord Sugar publicly questioned whether Piers should have been able to take one in the first place.
“Sincerely pleased to hear you are negative,” Lord Sugar wrote. “However, why are you a govt essential worker? Have I missed something? Like the Govn ‘Masochist bill’ [sic]”
Lord Sugar continued: “According to @PiersMorgan he is a Govn- designated essential worker. Does he mean the Govn see him essential to slag them off every day. There are other presenters to step in @gmb he is certainly not essential.
“[There are] Nurses, Doctors, Police, Army, train and truck drivers. He deprived a real essential workers from a test.”
He added: “If this was Hugh Grant, Meghan or other of his enemies like me. He would be howling from the rooftops. HYPOCRITE.”
RT @piersmorgan My COVID-19 test was negative. I was entitled to do so as a Govt-designated essential worker. I'll be back on @GMB as soon as my doctor advises I'm OK to return to work. SINCERELY PLEASED TO HEAR YOU ARE NEGATIVE. HOWEVER WHY ARE YOU A GOVT ESSENTIAL WORKER ?
