Piers Morgan savagely took down Lauren Goodger after she claimed she would refuse the coronavirus vaccine.
The Good Morning Britain host suggested the TOWIE star is a hypocrite as he showed a picture of her with plumped-up lips, asking how she can inject herself with lip fillers but would refuse the Covid-19 vaccine.
Lauren was last night slammed on social media for declaring that she will refuse to have the Covid jab.
The 34-year-old also claimed that she had previously had coronavirus and that it was “just like a cold”.
She also said that she “doesn’t believe” in face masks.

Her comments came as it was revealed that 1 in 50 people in the UK have Covid-19.
Speaking on today’s show, Piers made it clear he wasn’t happy with what Lauren had said.
He ranted: “Lauren Goodger, who I’m informed is a TOWIE babe, she’s gone public, having a go about the Covid vaccine on a day we discovered a million people in this country have the virus and we’re obviously in a desperate situation.
“She said she doesn’t agree with masks and won’t be taking the vaccine if it’s given to her. She said she’s ‘terrified’ of the vaccine. She believes she’s already had Covid and she didn’t die, therefore there’s not a problem.

“Lauren said, ‘I’m more scared of the vaccine than I am of the virus’. Really?
“She said, ‘I don’t like taking medicine, I don’t like antibiotics, I do aesthetics’… what?
“Anyway, here’s a picture of Lauren Goodger. What do you think she’s been shoving in her face? Where does that come from, Lauren? What have you been injecting in those lips? Did you check where it came from? Check what it is?”
He went on: “I mean, these people are absolute half-wits. They’re not even half-wits, they’re quarter-wits.”

Co-host Susanna Reid asked him: “Are you sure we should even give time to people who say they won’t take the vaccine?”
Piers said: “Unfortunately we have to because she has god knows how many [followers].
“Here’s the problem, they are getting attention on social media.
“They’re already giving their views to millions of young, impressionable people and they’re not getting challenged. And my point is these reality stars are stuffing their faces with plastic fillings and surgeries and injections and so on, and yet banging off about vaccines.

“It’s ridiculous. Do not listen to these imbeciles because it will cost lives.”
“Let’s not give them a platform,” Susanna said.
Piers said he was concerned that Lauren’s comments could deter young people from having the vaccine.
He said: “Again, look at her face, she’s put loads of stuff in her lips. Right, she could probably afford to take a risk with the vaccine which has been approved.”
