Piers Morgan has branded Madonna “desperate” after she uploaded a topless snap on her Instagram earlier this week.
Taking to the photo-sharing app, the Like a Prayer hitmaker posted a selfie of herself, but any form of cover-up was missing from the picture.
The shot featured the singer, who was wearing an eye-catching plant pot hat, placing her arms over her assets as held onto her camera.
With her trousers nowhere in sight, Madonna, who had regenerative treatment on her knee last month, finished the flesh-flashing look with a pair of black briefs and had a crunch under her right arm.

While the picture racked up thousands of adoring comments from fans along with loads of likes, Piers was less than impressed with the musician’s racy display.
Piers exclaimed: “Good grief… has any celebrity had a more tone-deaf and increasingly desperate coronavirus lockdown than Madonna?”
But his criticism didn’t sit well with online users, who were quick to fire back with their remarks.

One wrote: “Why are you so obsessed? And I really do use the word obsession. Constant put downs for years. We get it, You don’t like her. The gals got her baps out, good on her! Why does she bother you so much? Genuinely intrigued.”
“Seems like unnecessary trolling to me Piers, what was your point exactly?? or did the having a pop at someone else for no reason give you the pleasure hit you needed?”

While a third wrote: “She looks amazing – an incredibly talented woman, a power house in the industry with a superb back catalogue and many more years of creativity ahead of her. Not liked all her stuff but I am in awe of Madonna.”
While Piers may have mocked Madonna’s lockdown efforts, the British singer donated $1million to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations’ Therapeutics Accelerator program, which is researching to find a drug to cure or treat coronavirus.
Speaking on her Instagram, she explained: “I am so impressed by the work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator’s urgent efforts to find new or existing drugs that could effectively prevent or treat the disease.
“Harnessing the strength and knowledge of the research community, the Accelerator’s critical scientific progress will inform how we end this pandemic and prevent future impact from the virus.”
