Piers Morgan had a furious Twitter spat with a spoof account and it will make your day
Even more entertaining than a Piers Morgan Twitter spat is when it turns out he’s been working himself into a furious lather with a spoof account.
The Good Morning Britain man thought he was having a row with footballer Kolo Toure after a Twitter account bearing the same name told him to “shut the fuck up”.
Perhaps the reason Morgan got confused was because it was his third Twitter spat in a row that day. Here goes…
SPAT NUMBER 1 (WITH A REAL PERSON)
It began with Morgan telling Olly Murs to pipe down after he tweeted from the non-terror alert in London on Friday.
Fuck everyone get out of @Selfridges now gun shots!! I’m inside
— Olly Murs (@ollymurs) November 24, 2017
Stop tweeting mate @ollyofficial. Nothing happened.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 24, 2017
Listen piers! I was shopping and then all of sudden the whole place went mad, I mean crazy people running & screaming towards exits. We found a small office to hide to which loads of staff and people were saying there was shots fired. If you was there you’d have understood mate. https://t.co/mnZBTSLod4

No. You listen, Olly. When you have millions of followers be very careful what you tweet. There were no shots, in fact nothing happened at all. So you stirred extra needless panic by tweeting false information. https://t.co/6L3xTBlwuA

SPAT NUMBER 2 (ALSO WITH A REAL PERSON)
Cue James Blunt.
From the man who published fake Iraqi torture pictures. LOL. https://t.co/6VoVd6lZ2q
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) November 25, 2017
From the man who really is a James Blunt. LOL. https://t.co/f8ZRNOw7QX
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 25, 2017
For some reason Real Madrid and German football international Toni Kroos liked Blunt’s tweet.
Which is how this happened …
SPAT NUMBER 3 (NOT WITH A REAL PERSON)
Then this person got involved, an account appearing to be former Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Celtic and Ivory Coast footballer Kolo Toure.
Morgan came out swinging.
I'd be this angry too if my younger brother was better at football than me. https://t.co/0iZbTnXnHW

Overdoing those 'diet' pills again, Kolo? Pipe down. https://t.co/ia2s9z45SK

Mate, it's this kind of dismal defending that forced you into retirement. Ssshhh. https://t.co/e0dWDrgcR7
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 26, 2017
Except, it’s not Kolo Toure at all.

Hi mate @YayaToure, this is a bit awkward but if Kolo happens to like me, I unreservedly apologise for ripping into him all morning…
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 26, 2017
By way of mitigation, Morgan offered this.
I had my doubts re that Kolo Toure account, but it was verified by @_CarltonCole9… who I've just been told is also a fake.
Jeez.
Hope that was the real @ollyofficial on Friday… or this has been my worst 48hrs on Twitter.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 26, 2017
Not the first time Morgan’s been fooled by a fake account.
Only one question remained.
Are you a fake account?

Have to be honest, beginning to doubt myself. https://t.co/WMTo8XP8sE
