Piers Morgan is blocking people who refused to clap for Captain Sir Tom Moore following his death as the nation paid tribute to the lockdown hero.
The Good Morning Britain presenter branded people 'pathetic' for not joining the clap, which was held on Wednesday night.
The World War Two veteran died in hospital on Tuesday after testing positive for Covid-19 with his passing prompting reaction from around the world.
TV personality Beverley Turner decided not to join as the at 6pm last night in honour of the 100-year-old hero as she took to social media to explain her reasons.
She tweeted: "#SirTomMoore and his family did a brilliant job of raising £ for the NHS.
"It's great that he lived to 100! It's awesome that he got one last fab holiday.
"But I'm not clapping in the St to maintain the fear that imminent death is all around & we're all in this together. We're not."
Piers shared the tweet, adding: "This is so pathetic."
Beverley then shared that Piers had blocked her. She tweeted: "Must have touched a nerve as been blocked by @piersmorgan.
"I don't think he liked the fact that it seems - by many of your reactions- that I wasn't completely wrong...
"And he does not like to be wrong. Maybe he's manipulating you all too? Just a thought...."
People across the country took part in the tribute to the veteran at 6pm on Wednesday, following his death at the age of 100.
Sir Tom's family said they were "incredibly touched" by the gesture and took part outside their home in the village of Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire.
