Matt Lucas took issue with Piers Morgan trolling David Walliams and it’s fair to say the GMB man wasn’t happy
Another day, another thing that Piers Morgan isn’t happy about. This time it was David Walliams who rather magnificently got up the Good Morning Britain man’s nose by liking people who don’t like Morgan on Twitter.
Amusing that @davidwalliams regularly ‘likes’ the nastiest tweets about me, yet is such a snivelling toady to my face.
It’s not my fault @BGT ratings were so much higher when I was in your chair Dave! pic.twitter.com/6skAEpKBWq— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 15, 2019
And there was no shortage of people saying this, and very satisfying it was too.
It's not a nasty tweet though, is it? It's a factual tweet.

But the best response came from the other half of Little Britain, Matt Lucas.
Purely objectively –
1) He was probably being polite. Some people are.
2) Boasting about the BGT ratings and popularity when you were briefly on it to someone who has not only transformed the show but is consistently the biggest-selling author in the country didn’t work. https://t.co/S1TxGoHjCW— Matt Lucas (@RealMattLucas) October 15, 2019
We can only hope Walliams liked that too, because Morgan wasn’t happy, he wasn’t happy at all.
Hi Matt, I don’t think it’s ‘polite’ to be friendly to people in person but poisonous behind their back – it’s cowardly. As for BGT, I was very proudly on it for the first 4 years when ratings topped 20 million. They’re now half that. Not a boast, just a fact. https://t.co/3K7ha09MH9

To which Lucas (it was getting late) had the perfect three-word response.
