Irish Morgan’s Twitter account seems to have been deleted after reports that it had been hacked.

The former Good morning Great Britain (GMB) presenter, 57, who has 8.3 million followers on the social media site, had no profile picture, banner image or posts on Tuesday morning.

According to reports, his account shared messages with false information, racist slurs and offensive messages targeting the late Queen and singer Ed Sheeran.

Morgan’s Instagram account seemed to be working normally.

The host, who recently joined TalkTV as the host of the Uncensored show after leaving GMB, has not publicly addressed the hack.

However, his program’s official account tweeted, “In case you were wondering, @piersmorgan has been hacked.

“Any chance of getting him back, @elonmusk?”

He is a regular user of the platform, using it to express his views on topics ranging from Cristiano Ronaldo’s status among the greatest footballers of all time to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their Netflix series.

Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Police said no further action would be taken against a man suspected of making death threats to Morgan and his family online.

On Twitter, Morgan complained that there’s a “big problem with how big tech enforces its safety procedures.”

It comes after the report of the Minister of Education Gillian Keegan turned out to be hacked on Christmas Day.

Her account responded to a number of tweets with links to websites promoting cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

Morgan and Twitter representatives have been contacted for comment.
