On Wednesday’s instalment of the broadcaster’s TalkTV chat show Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan, 57, claimed that the “Vogue” singer, 64, should be “put out to pasture” while calling her a “hot mess”. Speaking to co-host Jeremy Kyle on the show, Morgan claimed: “I think she’s become the most grotesque, trainwreck embarrassment in the history of world entertainment.” Viewers have called the ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ host to apologise for his ‘misogynistic’ comments On social media, however, viewers were left shocked by broadcaster’s comments, which have been branded by some as “misogynistic” The Independent has contacted representatives of Piers Morgan for comment. “Piers morgan making gross ageist remarks about Madonna is nothing new, considering that he’s been making gross ageist remarks about her since she was in her early thirties,” another tweeted. On Twitter, one person called for the broadcaster to “apologise for your misogynistic remarks about Madonna tonight calling her a ‘sweaty mess’ you hypocrite!” While the TalkTV presenter claimed that he would speak the same about older male musicians, another Twitter user stated: “Would you say that about Mick Jagger or Rod Stewart etc…” “Leave her alone!” wrote another.
