Piers Morgan’s Twitter account has been deactivated today after a hacker started posting a string of tweets from his account.
The posts shared on his account on the platform, which has 8.3m followers, included racial slurs, false information, and jibes at other celebrities.
The hacker also threatened to leak Piers’s private messages with high-profile celebrities.
Some of the tweets posted in the middle of the night here took aim at the late Queen, former PM Boris Johnson, and even Ed Sheeran.
While Twitter moved to deactivate the account, thousands of people scrambled to take screenshots.

One such screenshot captured a tweet that said: “like this tweet if yall wanna see piers morgans little c*ck.”
It was shared by journalist Will Guyatt, who wrote: “While you were asleep you missed nearly an hour of mayhem as @piersmorgan (8.3m followers) got hacked and tweeted loads of v v inappropriate content and appeared to start leaking his direct messages.”

The insane string of tweets also included one claiming Andrew Tate had been shot dead in Dubai.
Tate himself even responded to that one, sharing it with the words: “Hard to kill.”
One post said: “You ginger f*cker @edsheeran.”

Another tweet was: “Get a f*cking haircut you ugly bum @borisjohnson.”

One of the now-deleted tweets from Piers Morgan‘s Twitter account said: “Mbappe owns Messi.”
The hacker also posted: “1k RTs and I’ll leak DMs with high profiled celebrities” – though it hit 1,000 retweets in mere minutes, none of the private messages were actually shared.
Of course, Twitter users didn’t miss a beat, rushing to share their thoughts as famously outspoken Piers’s account went into overdrive.
One person hilariously said: “Really hoping the Piers Morgan hacker is Meghan Markle.”

Someone wrote: “I was just about to log off twitter for the day until I saw that piers morgan has been hacked (ironic) and they’re threatening to leak his dms with high profile celebrities and I think I might just hang around a little longer”
One person pointed out: “Just learning about Piers Morgan’s twitter account being hacked… Just a reminder that voicemail hacking was rife at the daily mirror whilst under Morgan’s editorship. Not nice when it happens to you, hey?!”
Author Ella Dawson wrote: “hacking is very bad and will become more and more common under musk’s ownership considering no one freaking works at twitter anymore but I am glad we can all dunk on piers morgan together as a family during this holiday season.”
Someone tweeted: “Whoever’s hacked @PiersMorgan’s Twitter account, please show us his DM’s with Ronaldo I’m begging you.”
Piers Morgan has yet to address the hacking of his Twitter account, which remains deactivated.

Bongo’s Bingo is hosting a series of special ‘Christmas Cracker’ and New Year’s shows
Danny Jones
Britain’s beloved Bongo’s Bingo is hosting a series of massive end-of-season specials to ring in the new year, announcing a number of their famous ‘Christmas Cracker’ and festive parties.
They’re also holding a ‘Big Fat Bingo of the Year’ (we don’t see any trademark issues whatsoever…), including one for NYE.
As one of the best nights out, not just in the North but in the country, they’re hoping to send you into 2026 singing, dancing, laughing, and hopefully with some lasting memories and maybe a prize or two.
Confirming the latest raft of shows starting this month, you can expect all the usual Bongo’s madness and more, plus all the bells and whistles, as well as plenty of tinsel and holiday cheer.

Returning to Albert Hall as it regularly does throughout the rest of the calendar, Bongo’s Bingo is promising to give Manchester a Christmas and New Year’s period they’ll never forget.
As they put it, the hosts will be “transporting everyone back to the time when coloured tree lights and flammable tinsel ruled supreme, because the halcyon days of turkey with all the trimmings, mini bottles of Babycham and not a naughty elf in sight are BACK big time at Bongo’s Bingo.”
Bloomin’ ‘eck, they don’t half know how to get a crowd fired up even before they’re in the room, do they?
Set to deliver all the best festive tunes, “dodgy Santa Clauses” – their words, not ours – as well as plenty of foil hats fresh from the Christmas cracker, they’ll be partying with us Mancs multiple times throughout December, not to mention a bonus show at the end of November as we fully swap autumn for winter.
As for the ‘Twixmas’/’Christmas gooch’ period (again, not our words…), the format will then switch to the Big Fat Bingo of the Year, with quiz elements featuring all the biggest memes, tunes and cultural moments of 2025.
You can see the full list of Bongo’s Bingo festive dates for 2025 down below:
