Piers Morgan slams Love Island 2021 viewers; Fans of the show ask him to 'Get a life'

Love Island returned to the television with its another season on Monday. While fans were thrilled to watch new contestants on the island given a chance to choose their partners, Piers Morgan was busy suggesting people switch their channel and watch football. As he slammed Love Island 2021 viewers, netizens expressed their contradictory views in their replies.

Piers Morgan slams Love Island viewers via Twitter

Piers Morgan recently took to his Twitter handle to slam Love Island 2021 viewers. In the tweet, he wrote, "People are actually watching Love Island rather than the football tonight.". He then slammed the viewers and wrote, "I never want to meet those people.". 

While Piers is clearly a football fan, yet by slamming Love Island viewers, he invited some contradictory views on his tweet. A Twitter user wrote, "You need a life mate", while another one wrote, "They wouldn’t want to meet you either so it’s a win-win mate". A user claimed that Piers also must be enjoying Love Island and wrote, "*Piers secretly changing to love island at half time*". Seems like there was a Love Island fan in the comment section as one of the users wrote, "it’s okay piers I don’t want to meet you either".

Footballer. 36 years old and lighting up the Euros. Incredible. Proud of you, my friend @cristiano 👏👏👏".
