JK Rowling and Piers Morgan agree on latest optical illusion craze sweeping social media

Harry Potter author JK Rowling and former GMB host Piers Morgan have both spoken out about the latest optical illusion on social media.

Piers, who recently hinted he wanted JK to appear on his new chat show, commented on the latest debate surrounding the viral illusion on Twitter.

The image centres around a shape with a message that says: "If you’re right-brained, you’ll see a fish.

‘If you’re left-brained, you’ll see a mermaid.’

It has caused a similar reaction to the white/gold/blue/black dress drama and the viral Yanny or Laurel recording that has been spread widely on social media in the past.

JK decided to offer her own solution to the mystery shaped suggesting: "It’s a donkey, though."

Piers shared her response and confirmed: "Agreed – a donkey."

Kevin Pietersen then responded: "Kangaroo."

Piers recently revealed he wanted JK Rowling as a guest on his new show on TalkTV, later this year.

An insider told our sister paper The Mirror: "Piers needs to start with a bang and JK would do the job."

However, J.K's representative told Metro.co.uk: "JK is not in talks with Piers Morgan and will not be appearing on his new show."

They went on to add that she ‘was approached’ but the request was ‘immediately declined.’

Piers also invited Meghan Markle on to the series as his first guest despite their history.

He said: "Fundamentally, what I want the show to do is be a platform for free speech and democratic debate."

"And the right for people to come on and have their own opinion without being shamed and cancelled – because that’s the way back for society."

He added: "If Meghan Markle’s watching – I’m sure she is – if you want to be my first guest, we have a bit of unfinished business. I’m available."
