Piers Morgan disappears from Twitter after being 'hacked' with tweets about the late Queen and Ed Sheeran

Piers Morgan appears to have disappeared from Twitter altogether amid reports he was 'hacked'. The former Good Morning Britain star is usually very active on the social media platform, regularly sharing updates on his own life and career as well as commentating on some of the biggest stories.

However, Piers appears to have been silenced after fans were left shocked in the early hours to Tuesday when he seemingly began sending out abusive messages on Twitter. Those following the controversial TV star and journalist watched as he sent out tweets including slurs against the late Queen Elizabeth II and pop star Ed Sheeran.

According to the Mirror, Piers' account name was changed a number of times - including being changed to ‘lol’ and also ‘Michael’ - while more colourful language was also used to rename his account.
