Remember the story we told you about a few days back where folks on Twitter got mad a Piers Morgan over his criticism of James Bond actor Daniel Craig carrying his newborn around in one of those baby slings? ICYMI, here’s the tweet that set everyone off:
Oh 007.. not you as well?!!! #papoose #emasculatedBond pic.twitter.com/cqWiCRCFt3

Well, in Britain the story never really died down with the latest being a giant pie fight on the set of the Morgan-hosted “Good Morning Britain.”
In the clip below, the bald guy on the left — Harry Hill — smashes the pie they’re making in Morgan’s face to get revenge on his critique of Craig. It all smells of a setup, but it is amusing that Morgan — who challenged Craig’s manliness for how he carried his baby — immediately attacked his female co-host, Susanna Reid, and not Hill who’s was the one that started it all. So much for Morgan’s manliness.
Anyway, have a watch:

And some tweeters are calling out Morgan for the stunt:
When embarrassed by a man, Piers' first instinct is to attack the woman who laughed at him. The personification of fragile masculinity, right there. https://t.co/lKxGWvuRok

Piers says he attacked Reid to avoid any charges of sexism:
Hi Dave, new gender equality rules meant I had to pie the female host too – otherwise I would have been accused of 'sexism'. Hope that helps. https://t.co/U6mH5LNY8o

Everyone seems in good spirits about it, however:
