Piers Morgan has hit out at TOWIE star Debbie Bright after she criticised his ‘negativity’ on Good Morning Britain each day.
After a Twitter user insisted the journalist, 55, ‘needed to relax’, philanthropist, TV star and foster carer Debbie, 56, echoed the sentiment and insisted she has stopped tuning in to the ITV breakfast show amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In typically-acerbic style, Piers hit back at Debbie’s heartfelt tweet, writing: ‘Why do you follow me then? If you want constant uplifting positivity as 60,000 have died from Govt negligence, go follow a Love Islander or something.’

Piers’ handling of government officials and experts on the show has been widely discussed during the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.
While many have lauded the TV star and journalist for his head-on addresses other have insisted he is ‘not letting people speak’ and is garnering negativity.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘Can’t deal with piers Morgan anymore started well asking some important questions now all he wannado Is bring people in, interrupt them and try to embarass them and be negative he’s lost the plot…
‘Someone from his household give him a big cuddle and tell him to relax’.

Aside from her TV work, Debbie has been a foster carer for 30 years and is in the midst of promoting and celebrating Foster Care Fortnight.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in 2018, the reality favourite candidly discussed her life as a foster parent and the highs and lows of the tough yet rewarding job.
While she has kept her fostering off screens, Debbie has always spoken with passion about the work yet admits there are difficulties with the job.

She told MailOnline: ‘The hardest thing is when you have to give up babies, when you take a baby from a week old, a year or 18 months have to move on, that’s heartbreaking. You have to remember you are just part of their journey…
‘Some of the behaviours are so difficult to deal with. It’s much harder to unlearn behaviours than to learn them. If you don’t get a child until they’re 10, sometimes you can break through but sometimes you can’t…
‘You know that child is going to have a difficult life, but they have to go through that journey to become that person they’ll become in later life’.
