Piers Morgan forced to deny he played the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2

Piers Morgan has denied claims that he once played the Central Park Pigeon Lady in hit film Home Alone 2.

The Good Morning Britain star is regularly accused of featuring in the sequel as he looks strangely similar to the character.

Susanna Reid put the accusations to him once again this year - much to the amusement of his co-stars off camera.

She then claimed to have ‘proof’ that the rumours were true as Piers continued his denial.

The 55-year-old presenter said: “That is not me. I’m not the bag lady in Home Alone 2. It’s not my character, I’m nothing to do with it.”

Producers of the show then showed a moment when Piers was covered in pigeons during a live broadcast of the ITV show in 2018.

Piers own son Spencer initially brought the comparison to light, reports the Mirror.

Just weeks later, and Piers had them on his head and shoulders, before the creatures went a little rogue in the studio.

Susanna claimed this was the proof they needed to confirm he was the Pigeon Lady, but he was having none of it.

Many fans now can't unsee it, with a facial resemblance between the host and the character.

The actress who actually plays her, Brenda Fricker, is said to find the whole thing hilarious.

The Home Alone franchise is adored by many, especially around Christmas time.

Now, GMB could also become a festive favourite after ITV confirmed it will air on Christmas Day for the first time this year.

The series will join Lorraine and This Morning in airing one-off specials on the big day, while Loose Women doesn't appear to be airing.

Full schedules will be revealed soon, while the episodes are thought to be pre-recorded.
