‘Put your clothes on’: Piers Morgan calls Elizabeth Hurley’s Instagram photo ‘thirsty and creepy’

Piers Morgan has called Elizabeth Hurley’s social media post, in which the model is topless beneath a fur coat, “creepy” and “thirsty”.

Hurley’s name has been trending on Twitter since the model shared the photo on Instagram yesterday (25 January).

The Good Morning Britain presenter, however, branded the image “thirsty” and creepy” on the ITV programme today (26 January).

He said: “Liz? Bit of snow so get your kit off? Is it not creepy? What is all this? I call this thirsty and I call it creepy.”

Morgan went on to question who took the photograph, adding: “Your son? Your 18 or 19-year-old son?”

Hurley has an 18-year-old son, Damian, with the late producer Steve Bing who died in June last year.

Morgan, 55, added: “You can think two things if you look at it. Yeah, she looks great. She looks great. But you can also think she is 55 and she is getting her teenage son to take photos like this.”

Co-host Susanna Reid responded to Morgan’s remarks, stating: “She’s not.”

Reid added: “After women go over 50 are they not allowed to bare any flesh? That’s what happened to Davina McCall. She got trolled.”

The Masked Singer judge was recently harassed on social media by users who said that she was too “wrinkly” to wear the dress she wore on Saturday’s episode of the reality competition.

Morgan went on to urge Hurley to “put your clothes on”.
