CONTROVERSIAL TV star Piers Morgan has branded an MSP a 'thick ginger turd' in a row over historic prime minister Winston Churchill.
Whipping up interest ahead of tomorrow's Good Morning Britain, Piers took to Twitter to slam Ross Greer, Green MSP for West Scotland.
'It's so offensive': Scots MSP in fiery clash with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid over controversial Winston Churchill comments
But Ross was having none of it, coming back swinging with a deft reference to the phone tapping scandal.
At the weekend, Ross tweeted about Sir Winston, calling him a "white supremacist mass murderer," which caused a stooshie on the social media site.
Now Ross has been invited on Good Morning Britain to defend his position and Piers seems very much looking forward to it.

Unperturbed, Ross replied
Just off with your producer getting this sorted.

Given your history with folks' phones though, I'm sure you already know that 😉 https://t.co/lIuCkXOYRN
It should be an interesting debate, with even actor Ricky Gervais getting excited.
If that's not the actual introduction, I'm not watching.

No pressure, Ross... but we'll all be watching.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
