“What’s wrong with you Piers?”

A third stated:
“Speedy recovery Piers.”
Some made a joke of it and said that they knew why Piers was in the hospital. They were talking about the recent discussion about Gregg’s new vegan sausage roll. One wrote:
“Oh no! This is because you ate vegan isn’t it?!”
A second said:
“It will be that vegan sausage roll you ate haha.”
Piers was totally opposed to meat-free sausage rolls at Gregg’s. Known for being vocal about his opinions, Piers had tweeted:
“nobody was waiting for a vegan b****y sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns.”
He was told to try the sausage on air and he instantly gagged and spat the mouth contents into a bucket. He complained:
“Why would anyone eat this?”
His co-host Richard Arnold, 49 also joked:
“You’ll be needing a bed bath.”
The reason for the talented host’s hospitalization is not known.
Piers’ recent war of words with Sophie Turner
He had a spate recently with Sophie Turner who is 22 and an actress in Game of Thrones. She called him a t**t for his views on mental health.
When Coronation Street star Beverly Callard, 61 discussed mental health in an article in The Sun, she said:
“Real mental illness is very dark and it takes a great deal of strength to ask for help. I think we are now definitely chipping away at the stigma.”
She added:
“But we have to be careful mental illness doesn’t become like a Gucci handbag. There is a danger it can become fashionable.”
In response, Piers tweeted:
“She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true.”
Sophie commented:
“Or maybe they have a platform to speak out about it and help get rid of the stigma of mental illness which affects 1 in 4 people in the UK per year.
“But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. T**t.”
