Coronavirus: Piers Morgan tells Sam Smith to 'get a grip' after their 'quarantine meltdown'

Piers Morgan has got some seriously strong words for all the celebrities complaining about being in quarantine and self-isolation in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak.

The Good Morning Britain host, 54, was reacting to Sam Smith's "quarantine meltdown" in which the singer posted a series of pictures of themself throwing a strop.

Piers told Sam, 27, to "get a grip" as he slammed celebrities for what he deems to be "attention seeking".

In the photos Sam sat on the steps outside their mansion in pyjamas with their head in their hands as they wept about having to stay indoors.

"Stages of a quarantine meltdown," Sam captioned the post.

Piers retweeted an article about the pictures and didn't bite his tongue.

He tweeted: "FFS. I can't take any more of this celebrity attention-seeking bulls**t.

"Get a grip, the lot of you.
