Piers Morgan, 56, did not hold back in his criticism of Rebel Wilson, who hosted this year’s BAFTA Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The former Good Morning Britain host said he was “cringing violently” in a scathing tweet shared with his 7.9 million followers.
He wrote: “I’m cringing so violently watching Rebel Wilson attempt to host the #BAFTAs that I fear my eye sockets may explode.”
In a separate tweet, Piers added: “Great to see Rebel Wilson cracking all the jokes that would get a man abused, shamed and cancelled if he cracked them. #BAFTAs”
Other Twitter users appeared to agree with the broadcaster, taking to the social media platform to share their opinion on Rebel’s appearance.
Ittatto23 fumed: “This isn’t the #EEBAFTAS, this is the unfunny #RebelWilson comedy show! What a pathetic sketch, going to a cinema and showing off her blurry shortcomings and sharing an unfunny gag with the bloke of Little Britain.

While presenting the coveted event, Rebel took aim at the attendees who had been nominated for an award.
“I look at the exceptional, daring talent nominated in this category and I don’t think I could do what they do,” Rebel said of the all-male nominee group.
“Honestly, I just don’t have the balls,” she concluded.
