Piers Morgan will finally be silenced for a WHOLE day - and it's all thanks to Lord Alan Sugar.

On today's (March 22) Good Morning Britain, Piers announced that he would put away his phone and laptop, as well as stay off Twitter, for 24 hours if £5,000 was raised for Comic Relief.

And in a glorious twist, Lord Alan Sugar immediately donated the whole amount and sent Piers a cheeky video message.

"£5,000 to silence Piers Morgan for a whole day on Twitter - that's a bargain - the bargain of a century," he joked.

"Comic Relief, send me the bill straight away, I'll pay it immediately. It's going to be a wonderful day without that nutter clogging up Twitter with his nonsense for the whole day."

And since Lord Sugar met the initial target, passionate Arsenal fan Piers then agreed to a potentially even worse fate – wearing a Tottenham Hotspur shirt if £50,000 was raised by 8am on Red Nose Day this Friday (March 24).

"A little earlier I said I would come off Twitter for a day for Comic Relief if we raised £5,000. Within about seven minutes Lord Sugar, hovering in Florida, had posted a video to say he'd pay the whole thing to shut me up," Piers explained.

"So we then reset and I, in a reckless moment, said I would wear a Tottenham Hotspur shirt – which, if you know my football allegiance, is the nearest thing to hell imaginable – if viewers raised £50,000."

While no-one donated the whole amount, Piers's friends Robbie Savage, Rio Ferdinand, Kevin Pietersen, Holly Willoughby, Bradley Walsh, Jamie Redknapp and Michael Vaughan have all pledged £1,000.

Who needs enemies…

You can donate to Piers's humiliation on his Just Giving page, which has so far raised more than £2,000 from viewers as of 9am.
