Piers Morgan’s Twitter account appears to have been wiped after reports it was hacked.
Twitter users were left shocked in the early hours of Tuesday morning when Piers' Twitter account started sending out expletive-riddled messages - with it quickly becoming apparent that his account had been hacked.
Followers of the 57-year-old’s social media account were left gobsmacked when he sent out tweets including slurs against the late Queen Elizabeth II and pop star Ed Sheeran.
But everything now appears to have been wiped from the star's profile, as Piers continues to remain silent on the alleged hacking while his son Spencer Morgan shares an update with fans waiting to hear from his dad.
The former Good Morning Britain presenter, 57, who has 8.3 million followers on the social media site, now has no profile picture, banner image or posts on his Twitter account as of morning.
"Obviously dad’s finally been hacked," Spencer tweeted at 9.04am this morning, "Ideal when he’s in a different time zone."
According to reports, his account shared posts overnight containing false information, racial slurs and abusive messages directed at the late Queen and singer Ed Sheeran.
Piers’ Instagram account appeared to be operating normally, with the star's last post on the picture-sharing app shared yesterday.
The presenter, who recently joined TalkTV as the host of its Uncensored show after quitting GMB, has not publicly addressed the apparent hack.
He is a regular user of the platform, using it to voice his opinions on topics ranging from Cristiano Ronaldo ’s status among the best footballers of all time to multiple tweets about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - in particularly Meghan Markle.
Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Police said no further action would be taken against a man suspected of sending death threats to Piers and his family online.
On Twitter, Morgan complained there is a “big problem with how big tech operates its safety procedures”.
It comes after the account of Education Secretary Gillian Keegan appeared to be hacked on Christmas Day.
Her account replied to a number of tweets with links to websites advertising cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
Representatives of Piers Morgan and Twitter have been contacted for comment.
As the alleged hacker went on a posting spree in the early hours of this morning, many Twitter users bagged the unknown person behind the takeover to leak Piers' private messages.
Some appealed to the hackers, asking them to access Piers’ Direct Messages to uncover the communications he had in the past with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
One fan questioned if the DM’s could finally unveil exactly why Piers has such contempt for the American actress.
One follower tweeted: “I Want to see why Piers hate Meghan Markle so much. Go to Megan’s DMs” along with crying-with-laughter emojis.
As the hack continued, some fans interacted with the account - with one demanding the apparent hackers leak Piers's DMs.
However, they hackers responded to claim there was "nothing interesting" within the private messages.
