Last month, the former Good Morning Britain presenter’s account shared posts about Sheeran and the late Queen Elizabeth II to his 8.3 million followers.
Now, Morgan, 57, has called the posts “abusive nonsense” in a tweet sent early on Monday morning (January 9). Alongside a picture of Sheeran, 31, Morgan tweeted: “By the way, apologies for all the abusive nonsense posted on my feed after I was hacked (yes, yes, do your own jokes) on Boxing Day.” He continued: “And in particular to @edsheeran who I think is a very gifted singer-songwriter with a fine head of hair, not a ‘ginger pr*ck.’
According to reports, Morgan’s account had originally shared posts on Boxing Day (December 26), which contained false information, racial slurs and abusive messages. One fan apparently warned Piers about his data being leaked days before the hacking. Piers replied to the fan: "Yes, I wish I had seen this at the time… would have saved me a lot of problems."
