Kirstie Allsopp calls Piers Morgan a "total b*****d" in furious Twitter row over coronavirus

KIrtstie Allsopp has branded Piers Morgan a "total b*****d" in furious Twitter row over coronavirus.

Tensions boiled over between the Location Location Location star and outspoken Good Morning Britain presenter on Thursday evening, after they appeared to be on good terms just a day earlier as they chatted via video link on GMB.

KIrstie has faced criticism from some people for her choice to move from London to her second home in Devon to go into isolation as the country is on coronavirus lockdown.

She wrote "The last 24 hours has been utterly horrible, full of vile, unpleasant and frankly frightening comments."

Her comments didn't go down too well with Piers though as he retweeted her post and added: "Kirstie, you’re rich, privileged & isolating in a lavish country home with your family.

"Maybe stop making this crisis about your struggle with trolls & direct your energy into rallying support for NHS workers risking their lives for us all in very dangerous circumstances?"

Kirstie has since deleted her original tweet but hit back at Piers, tweeting: "You total B*****D there was NO need to Retweet that to your millions of followers, it was totally unnecessary and unkind thing to do."

Kirstie's own followers weren't too enamoured with her tweet either, with one reacting: "Sorry I realise it may hurt. But most peoples struggles are going to be millions harder than yours my dear.

"So please dont expect sympathy.People are living with no wages stuck in tiny flats with disabled children.Let's think about them first."
