“Vote for me if only to wipe the smug grin off those two cocky, snivelling little Geordie b*******”
What did Piers’ followers say?
As ever, Piers divided his followers.
“Piers, you are Marmite,” one said.
“Some days I have to turn you off but stick you straight back on the next morning.
“I then get cross when I turn the TV on and I forgot it was your day off. I have voted for my favourite Marmite. Hope you win.”
I am fed up with Ant and Dec keep winning constant TV Awards.

A third commented: “Sorry Piers, they are in a league above you.
“Consider yourself honoured to even be nominated next to them. *the irony of you calling people smug by the way.”
What else has Piers said about Ant and Dec?
