Charlotte Crosby has warned Piers Morgan to not “hate the roll” after he waged war on the launch of Greggs’ vegan sausage roll.
Morgan, 53, was not a fan of the meat-free pastry, branding it the invention of “PC-ravaged clowns” as he sparked a huge Twitter debate.
He tweeted: “Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns.”
Geordie Shore star Crosby was among those who hit back, telling the Good Morning Britain star he is wrong, claiming there is a huge demand for the vegan alternative.
“Well actually with vegans on the rise with over a 700 per cent growth in the last 2 years, revealing the number of vegans in the UK now exceeds three-and-a-half million,” she tweeted. “Means there WAS in fact a lot of people waiting for this.”
She added: “#DontHateTheRoll #SausageRollThursdays #RockAndRoll.”
Clearly not convinced by her statistics, Morgan replied: “If there are 3.5 million vegans in Britain then I’m the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
Morgan was also left outraged by his former Britain’s Got Talent co-star Amanda Holden who admitted to being among those who were excited to try the new addition to the high street bakery, tweeting: “WHAT?!!!!!!!!!?????”
He mocked vegans and claimed he had been subjected to “howling abuse,” before tweeting: “Vegans, please stop screaming at me – you’re damaging my mental health.”
Taking aim at Greggs he continued: “Isn’t it time you changed your name to something more gender-fluid & less toxically masculine?”
Morgan was subjected to a barrage of abuse for his comments with many questioning why he is “so obsessed with a sausage roll”.
Greggs responded: “Oh hello Piers, we’ve been expecting you.”
