Piers Morgan lashed out at comedian Frankie Boyle and branded him a "disgusting human being" over tweets he made earlier this week.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Piers addressed a newspaper campaign to fly in PPE for frontline NHS workers.
Piers pointed out the campaign was "very timely" following Frankie's tweet a few days ago.
The GMB presenter said: "Frankie Boyle, the so-called comedian, tweeted a couple of days ago 'British newspapers are on the verge of going bust, so there's never been a more important time to not buy one.'
"This is a guy who's taken money from newspapers to write columns, so he's a flaming hypocrite as well as a disgusting human being who wants to see people lose their jobs."
Piers continued to say that Frankie should not be given a platform on newspapers again.
He said: "I hope that when he comes sniffing for a column in one of the papers, he's done them in The Sun and others,' I hope they say 'No, no thanks.'
"When it really mattered, when we were really suffering as an industry, you actively told two and a half million people not to buy newspapers to put us out of business.
"People shouldn't forget stuff like that."
