Piers Morgan got owned by British Airways for cheeky tweet saying he’s more famous than Brad Pitt

Destroyed

Piers Morgan is always giving it out on Twitter.

If he’s not calling for Arsene Wenger to be ejected from the Arsenal hotseat, he’s winding up trigger-happy Americans about their daft gun laws.

But while boarding a British Airways flight that Hollywood star Brad Pitt was on, he thought he’d have a little fun with his Twitter.

The Good Morning Britain presenter fired off a cheeky tweet about his prime seat number compared to that of Pitt on the BA flight, tagging the airline in it.

We can imagine the look on his face when he hit ‘post’…

Only British Airways were pretty quick to set the celebrity Gooner straight with a jocular tweet that blew him out of the water.

Shot down in flames…

Of course, BA were joking (weren’t they?) but it didn’t stop Morgan dishing out more on Twitter to some of the other famous passengers on board the flight.

But the one-time England goalkeeper wasn’t going to let the former Daily Mirror editor have the last laugh, oh no.

What the hell flight was this? We’ve never seen so much as a Jonny Vegas or that bloke off the Go Compare adverts on a plane, never mind Morgan, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Pitt and Butland.

How the other half live, eh?
