Piers Morgan apologises to Ed Sheeran; Here's what happened

TV presenter Piers Morgan has apologised to Ed Sheeran after hackers allegedly hacked Morgan's twitter profile and posted abusive tweets.

The 57-year-old media personality had locked out his twitter profile at the end of December following a series of attacks by the hackers. He last posted on December 26 before returning to the platform on Sunday night.

Morgan has more than 8.3 million followers on Twitter.


A series of tweets containing misinformation, abusive messages and racial slurs were posted targeting Ed Sheeran and late Queen Elizabeth II.

"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, 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’," Piers Morgan tweeted.


The offensive tweets were removed from Piers Morgan's twitter handle.
