Piers Morgan furiously spoke out in Diversity’s defence on Monday morning, amid the fallout over the dance troupe’s Black Lives Matter routine on Britain’s Got Talent.
As Ofcom complaints soared to 15,500 following the performance, which featured a portrayal of a policeman kneeling on Ashley Banjo’s neck, Piers reiterated his support for the routine as he hosted ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
Former BGT judge Piers, 55, told viewers: ‘If you can’t handle that without feeling the need to never watch BGT again or to complain to Ofcom, there’s something wrong with you. You, you’re the problem! You’re part of the problem.’
He added: ‘By the way, if you don’t like me saying this, then don’t watch us either. Don’t watch Good Morning Britain. Because I agree with Ashley Banjo and Diversity. And if you can’t handle it Britain, wake up.’
