Piers Morgan has taken a cheeky swipe at several female pop icons including Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Cindy Crawford to mark International Women’s Day.
On Tuesday (March 8), the 56-year-old took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the celebratory day and it’s fair to say not everyone was thrilled with his response.
Initially, the dad-of-three took a political stance on the yearly celebration as he shared an emotional tweet praising the millions of women overseas who are living in war-torn countries.
But it didn’t take long before the Britain’s Got Talent judge boasted about some of the incredibly talented women he has met throughout his career.

At first, Piers wrote: “On #InternationalWomensDay I suggest we all park the annual pointless virtue-signalling to one side and think of ways to actively help the millions of women in Afghanistan and Ukraine who we’ve abandoned to horrible fates in the past few months.”
Fans soon flooded to the comments to share their thoughts on his thought-provoking tweet as many praised him for his comments.
Lizzie Cundy commented on the post with four applause emojis as she supported his comment on the social media platforms.
Another user agreed: “BLOODY WELL SAID [applause emoji]” as a third chimed in with: “Must not forget the women of Yemen and Palestine as well.”

But just hours later, the former Good Morning Britain star returned to the social media platform to share some of the inspirational women he has worked with in the past.
In the collage, the broadcaster could be seen posing alongside Naomi Campbell, Serena Williams, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Cindy Crawford and Ariana Grande.
He captioned the snap: “On #internationalwomensday I’d like to congratulate all these fabulously beautiful and iconic women … on meeting me [three applause emojis].”

And some of his 1.8million followers were quick to snap back at the journalist’s post online with many noting he didn’t include a pictures with his female family members or former co-stars.
One user pointed out: “No susanna [eyes emoji]” as another noted: “What about our lovely Susanna??”
Others noticed that his wife Celia Walden was missing from the post as one user added: “Um … don’t forget your lovely wife [shocked emoji],” as one supporter of the star chimed in with: “The wife not worthy of inclusion?”
