Piers Morgan’s Twitter account abuses Queen and Ed Sheeran in apparent hack | Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan’s Twitter account has been wiped of much of its content, amid reports it has been hacked.

The 57-year-old former Good Morning Britain (GMB) presenter, who has 8.3 million followers on the social media site, had no profile picture, banner image or post on Tuesday after -midday. Some tweets containing still and video images remained, as did recordings of tweets his account had liked.

According to reports, his account shared messages overnight containing false information, racial slurs and abusive messages directed at the late Queen Elizabeth II and singer Ed Sheeran.

It comes after UK Education Secretary Gillian Keegan’s account appeared to have been hacked on Christmas Day. His account replied to several tweets with links to websites advertising cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

Tweets on Keegan’s account began appearing shortly before 7:30 p.m. on Christmas Day and were sent throughout the evening until the wee hours of Boxing Day.

Last month the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, wrote to MPs advising them to tighten security on their mobile phones with multi-factor verification, as well as updating software and deleting old messages .

The warning came after Liz Truss’ phone was allegedly hacked by Russians over the summer when she was Foreign Secretary and favorite in the Tory leadership race.

Morgan’s Instagram account appeared to be functioning normally.

The presenter, who recently joined TalkTV as a host of his Uncensored show after leaving GMB, has not publicly addressed the apparent hack.

Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Police said no further action would be taken against a man believed to have sent death threats to Morgan and his family online.

On Twitter, Morgan complained that there was a “big problem with how big tech enforces their security procedures.”

A TalkTV spokesperson declined to comment. Neither Morgan nor Twitter responded to requests for comment.
