The content of Piers Morgan’s Twitter account temporarily disappeared on Tuesday (27 December), following an apparent hack.
However, given the number of crass and awful things posted no one noticed for several hours.
Piers Morgan’s Twitter account got hacked overnight. It posted a number of quite crass and awful things, which is why no one noticed for several hours. Cough. Boom. Cough. Anyway, be interesting to see if the hackers went through his DMs.

His official account shared a series of posts overnight, containing false information, racial slurs and abusive messages directed at people including the late Queen and singer Ed Sheeran, according to reports. It was only when the level of narcissism dropped that people began to wonder.

Mr Morgan has a wide circle of friends who may have contacted him to let him know but most of them are either banged up at the moment or persona non grata.
The majority of the offensive posts were removed, along with all his previous posts, his profile picture and banner image.
Despite intervention, some problematic posts remained visible in his tweets, tweets and replies, media and likes, into Tuesday afternoon.

The former Good Morning Britain (GMB) presenter is a frequent tweeter, and has 8.3 million followers.
He is yet to publicly address the apparent hack.
His Instagram account appeared to be operating normally, with Morgan last sharing a photo of his parents and siblings on Boxing Day.
The 57-year-old presenter joined TalkTV as the host of its Uncensored show last year, after quitting GMB following an altercation with a co-host over the Duchess of Sussex.
It is vital to remember who Morgan is friends with and who pays his bills:
And why any decent person would avoid anything he said
He is a class A **** and thankfully it has been called out
A neo nazi group could have hacked Morgan and it would not have been immediately obvious.
