Last night the pair jabbed Piers some more, saying: “Get that Winston Churchill statue and [bleep] it into Piers Morgan’s back garden it has no place in today’s society!

“If something suspicious happens to us!

“We aren’t gonna be silenced! Just for future reference in case anything happens!”

“Talentless clowns”

Piers soon hit back, calling the siblings “talentless clowns”.

He said: “a) I’d be honoured to have that statue in my garden.

I’d be honoured to have that statue in my garden.

“b) Churchill saved Britain from the Nazis & contributed more to society every time he breathed than you talentless disrespectful clowns have done in your combined 58 years of gormless tuneless imbecility.”
