Piers Morgan has faced a furious backlash after blasting House of Gucci as “jaw-droppingly dreadful”.
The former Good Morning Britain host went to see the Hollywood film with his wife Celia this week – but he was left bitterly disappointed at the star-studded movie.

The biographical film, directed by Ridley Scott, features a star-studded cast including pop icon Lady Gaga and Suicide Squad star Jared Leto.

Channel 4 presenter Matt Frei quipped: “What took you so long?”
Piers saw the funny side and replied: “Celia’s willpower held out longer than mine..” as he attached a laughing-face emoji.

It was first released on November 26 – and had a reported budget of $75 million..
