Piers Morgan has been slammed online by Game of Thrones fans after he insulted the show.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, who is prone to a spot of controversy, took to Twitter to share his views on the hit HBO drama after the third episode aired.
Making it clear he’s not a fan of the show, Morgan said that he has never seen a single episode and has no plans to.
“Never watched Game of Thrones & no desire to. Preposterous waste of eyeball energy,” Morgan wrote.
Infuriated fans were quick to hit out at the breakfast presenter, claiming he made the comments for “attention”.
One user wrote: “‘I am completely uninformed on this topic but will weigh in anyway’ - Piers Morgan.”
“Hating popular things doesn’t make you an interesting person,” added another.
A third commented: “If you've never watched it how would you know? I dare say you've just sat there and tweeted it to gain further attention, in which case well played.”
He is yet to respond to the backlash.
Morgan’s tweets come after fans witnessed an explosive end to the third episode of season eight.
Despite the mass praise around the dramatic scenes,fans were left perplexed over the lighting for the epic Battle of Winterfell, with many claiming it was “too dark”.
However, director Fabian Wagner has since defended the show, insisting that his filming wasn’t to blame but rather the streaming services and HBO’s “compression of the episode.”
He told TMZ: “Game of Thrones has always been very dark and a very cinematic show. I know it wasn't too dark because I shot it.
“We tried to give the viewers and fans a cool episode to watch.”
HBO recently shared a first look at episode four, which centres around Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) quest to securing the Iron Throne.
