Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan shamed a social networker online today following their tweet about the NHS.
The post read: “NHS worship is going to be even more insufferable once this is done than it was before, isn’t it?”
Surprisingly the tweet had been liked nearly 700 times, but it’s safe to say Piers certainly wasn’t one of those people.
Replying to the comment, Piers, 55, fumed: “Most disgusting tweet of the #Coronavirus crisis so far – & the bar was very very low.”
Piers’ followers flocked to his post to share their thoughts.
One Twitter user said: “He would feel differently if they saved one of his love ones – the NHS deserve more praise than anyone can give them. [sic].”
While another continued: “I am just curious as to why he regards the concept of NHS worship as insufferable.
A third added: “Mindless, looking for attention.”
However, some people did defend the tweeter Piers called out, and suggested he was criticising the NHS system and not its incredible staff.
Earlier this week, Piers shared his support for GMB co-host Kate Garraway’s husband Derek Draper, who has been battling coronavirus.
Tweeting to his 7.3million followers, he said: “Come on Derek Draper- we’re all rooting for you. And we’re all here for you Kate Garraway.”
Kate’s other co-worker Ben Shephard read out a message from her about Derek on GMB this week, it said: “The NHS team who have been working on him have all been extraordinary and I know that it’s only their professionalism, dedication and bravery that has kept Derek with us so far.
“I also know that they’re working just as hard on all the patients in their care
“It’s hard to find the right words because thank you alone isn’t enough but i do thank them because I know Derek would if he could.
“I also want to say thank you so much to everyone who has sent messages of support. I’m sorry that I’ve not been able to respond to them but i hope you will understand I’m focusing on Derek and my family right now.

“However, in quieter moments, I am seeing them and they are so comforting and wonderful to read.
“I am very aware that I’m not the only one going through this torture, there are thousands of families everywhere worried about their loved ones and hundreds more every day too that are having to deal with the worst news that their loved ones have been taken by this horrific virus.
“I want to send a message of love and support to everyone going through this. You are not alone, we must all stand together and support each other.
“I’m praying to be able to talk with you with some positive news shortly. Lots of love, Kate.”
