Brazen Andrew Tate has defended controversial remarks about Amanda Holden’s beach snap in a heated exchange with Piers Morgan – and insists he was “reminding her of her worth”.
The embattled social media influencer, currently embroiled in a sex trafficking trial, found himself in a fiery confrontation with Piers as he defended his contentious comments regarding The Britain’s Got Talent star’s bikini snaps. Tate, who has been the subject of public scrutiny for his recent legal troubles, faced a barrage of questions not only about his views on women but also his involvement in the ongoing legal case against him.
This explosive interview is set to air on Talk TV tonight (November 20) at 8pm, and a preview clip gives viewers a glimpse into the contentious exchange as Piers is seen asking Tate why is a 52-year-old woman showing off her body so different from a 36-year-old man posing without his top on. “You Tweeted a picture of Amanda Holden, very good friend of mine,” Piers began.

“It’s a very harmless picture. She is in a bikini on holiday under a rain shower, looking extraordinarily beautiful.” “In a sexual pose,” Tate interrupts.
Piers, taken aback by Tate’s remarks, pressed him on the apparent misogyny of his comment. Tate responded defensively, stating: “You can call me crazy, you can call me misogynistic, but I think once you reach the ripe age of 50, any woman should not be interested in thirst trapping on Instagram.

“I think she has bigger responsibilities, I am sure she is a very intelligent lady and she has done amazing things.” Tate went on to argue that Amanda Holden is “above” posting such pictures and suggested that she could channel her efforts into more substantial endeavors.
He exclaimed, “I think she is above it. I wasn’t insulting her, I was reminding her of her worth because as a feminist – we are all feminists here, right, we all believe in women empowerment – I am reminding her of her worth.” Piers countered Tate’s argument by highlighting his own shirtless photos on social media. Tate responded with a cheeky question, asking if Piers was a fan.
