Piers Morgan flirts with Love Island's Lucie Donlan following Donald Trump heartache

Piers Morgan is helping get over his social media shunning by President Trump by flirting outrageously with Love Island babe Lucie Donlan.

The 55-year-old left a cheeky comment on the ITV2 star's latest sizzling bikini post.

The Good Morning Britain presenter and the 21-year-old are pals - despite Piers being brutally honest about his hatred of the dating show.

Stunning Lucie took to Instagram to share a snap of her posing in little more than white net trousers.

She captioned the racy shot: "Only 1 name in my phone that excites me...".

Piers quickly replied: "Mine?".

Teasing Lucie responded to him: "@piersmorgan spot on. You're correct haha."

Married Pier joked he and Lucie would make the "perfect couple" as he joined Lucie on the red carpet at the ITV gala last November

He is of course happily married to wife Celia Walden, but he is in need a bit more attention right now after Saturday's crushing blow.

The star's ego is damaged after former friend Trump unfollowed him on twitter.

We've all been there, but it hurts a little bit more when it's the most powerful person on the planet giving you the online middle finger.

The world has been waiting for Trump to give him the boot after a number of recent digs.

Telling fans the news, he wrote on Twitter: "UPDATE: President @realDonaldTrump has unfollowed me on Twitter, hours after I wrote this @DailyMail column".

Piers was an avid supporter and good friend of the president, and at one point had the chance for a sit-down interview with him in 2018.

In his column, the journalist hit out at Mr Trump, writing: "I just see a president pretending to be a medical expert and spewing theories that might have disastrous consequences.

"By far the most reckless and dangerous thing President Trump has done is use the most powerful podium on earth to air his bats**t crazy theories about how to beat the virus."

It comes after Piers first hit back at claims that Trump had muted him in recent days, branding it "fake news".

Time will tell if they can patch things up.
