Piers Morgan has taunted taunts celebs including Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan and accused them of helping Boris Johnson win a landslide.
The outspoken Good Morning Britain host took to Twitter shortly after the results of the first exit polls were announced at 10pm.
The poll predicted a Tory landslide of 368 seats with Labour trailing behind with a dismal 191, giving the Conservative Party a majority of 86.
Morgan called out two Lib Dem-supporting stars, Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan, and mocked them for handing the election to Boris.
He tweeted: "Congrats Hugh Grant & Steve Coogan - you helped get Boris a landslide."
The former newspaper editor then found himself embroiled in a Twitter spat with Grant, after the actor tweeted in response to the exit poll.
The Love, Actually star wrote: "There goes the neighbourhood", prompting a vicious response from Morgan, writing: "No, there goes your credibility.
"The British people listened to your democracy-wrecking garbage & told you to f**k off."
Coogan has also been a vocal supporter of the Lib Dems and he found himself at the centre of a storm when he lashed out at Tory voters and Brexiteers.
In an appearance on Channel 4 News, Coogan waded into the debate about schools, saying: "The reason the Tories don’t invest in education is they depend on the ignorance that will lead to their support.'
He then referenced his most famous comedy character, adding: "Alan Partridge is ill-informed and ignorant and therefore he’s a Conservative and Brexiteer."
