Piers Morgan Sparks Chaos With Union Jack Makeup Session

There may be few people brave enough to dust the social cauldron and throw another pot on the fire; yet this was the one Piers thought he just had to fire off at 12 noon. The contentious broadcaster posed for the camera being dried in red, white and blue at work on Bank Holiday Monday-the 80th anniversary week of VE Day. Draped by a Union Jack flag as the woman applied the makeup upon him, the caption was one Morgan would call cheeky; accordingly, the feedback was any but tame.

In the beginning, the good comments rolled in-ish. Joan Abernethy called him Piers the Patriot, while Clare Jonathan went with Total respect. But let’s be honest; that’s not what the people came for. There were jokes and roasts plus plenty of confused ones. Grace W. commented, ‘Not that I wanna diss or anything…really, but you look like a deflated balloon.’ Martin McKinley did not waste one second and shot straight: ‘You look like a ballbag.’

Then came the identity crises comments. Brian Ó Dubhda asked why Morgan, who claims Irish heritage, was ‘abusing the Union flag as a cover apron.’ StevieMc1888 piled on questioning how much English DNA he really had and that he should’ve gone for an Irish tricolor. Stephen McEverton even went on to find an old tweet and call him out for the Irish-British flip-flop. The receipts were out, and they were just brutal.

The makeup itself? Yeah, roasted too. Vix🦊 commented on the ‘whacking great spider’ on the woman’s blouse (which was, in fact, a brooch, but the joke landed). TheAdamKohl snarked ‘gender-affirming makeup,’ and Barry Still gave the blunt realization, ‘How much makeup?’ Meanwhile, Davmax just summed it all up: ‘The fuckin state of that!! 🤡🤡🤡.’

Then came the random detours. Dominic Toy somehow turned the thread into a crypto flex, bragging how he made $160K after following some trader’s advice. Knoxthefloof reminded Morgan he chose to work on a holiday so the whole ‘woe is me’ act was unnecessary. And Muriel the Actor came in with a sarcastic, ‘Must have been terrible in the trenches, Piers,’ Because why not drag wartime suffering into a makeup joke?

Even the Union Jack itself was insulted. Jacqui Carson named it ‘the butchers apron,’ and kingcon91 said it was now ‘offensive’ to wear in the UK. Baz Milligan agreed: ‘What a load of bollocks,’ accompanied by finger-pointing emojis.

As chaos ensued, a few tried to redirect the conversation back to VE Day, but why kid ourselves? This was never about the anniversary. It was about Piers Morgan doing Piers Morgan things and the internet reacting in the way one would expect. For better or worse, the man sure knows how to get people talking. Well, at least he didn’t get into another spat with a pop star. Small victories.
